When you put a number to the power of something (2^2, 3^4, etc) you’re multiplying it that many times (2 x 2, 3 x 3 x 3 x 3, etc).

So, if you have a number to the power of 0, you’re multiplying that number by itself 0 times.

You can have a number to the power of 1, this would give you the number itself (2^1=2, etc).

So 2^2 would be 2 about 2 times (2×2) but 2^0 would be 2 about 0 times.

So if we have the number 2, 0 times, then we have don’t have a number, which means we have 0.
