    1. What defines 21st century?

     By extrapolation, the 20th century comprises the years AD 1901-2000. Therefore, the

    2. Is 2000 is 21st century?

     The second century began with AD 101 and continued through AD 200. By extrapolation,
    the 20th century comprises the years AD 1901-2000. Therefore, the 21st century began
    on 1 January 2001 and will continue through 31 December 2100. Similarly, the 1st
    millennium comprised the years AD 1-1000.

    3. Why is it called the 21st century?

     We live in the 21st Century, that is, the 2000s. Similarly when we say "20th Century," we

    Century included the years 1-100 (there was no year zero), and the 2nd Century, the
    years 101-200.
