Question

Why 0 is neither negative nor positive?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Zero is called the origin, and it's neither negative nor positive. For every positive integer, there's a negative integer an equal distance from the origin. Two integers that lie the same distance from the origin in opposite directions are called opposites.

Answer 2

Answer:

Negative numbers are numbers that are smaller than zero, and positive numbers are numbers that are bigger than zero. Since zero isn't bigger or smaller than itself (just like you're not older than yourself, or taller than yourself), zero is neither positive nor negative.

Step-by-step explanation:

Because zero is neither positive nor negative, the term nonnegative is sometimes used to refer to a number that is either positive or zero, while nonpositive is used to refer to a number that is either negative or zero. Zero is a neutral number.
