A century (from the Latin centum, meaning one hundred; abbreviated c.) is 100 years. Centuries are numbered ordinally in English and many other languages (e.g. the 7th century AD/CE).
Best Answer: The 20th century ends at the end of the year 2000. The 21st century begins on January 1, 2001. There was no year 0. AD (translated as they year of our lord) means AD 1. So the 1st century is years 1-100 The 2nd century is 101-200.Etc.he numerics involved are quite simple. Our numbering system begins with 1, not 0. The 20th century, therefore, began on January 1, 1901, and ended December 31, 2000, the century comprising the 100 years between the the first day of the year 1901 and the last day of the year 2000.
