It is a digit, but it has no value. So, it depends on what you're using as your definition for number.

Not only is zero a number but it has value. For example; zero(0) is 4 greater than -4. That may sound like I am trying to be silly but wait until you get a bit higher in math and then judge.

yes, it is a sign of an advanced number system.
some number systems are based on other numbers (like 20), some systems don't use zero.
Ours does. It allows us to express division by zero as something approaching infinity.
Our system also has imaginary numbers which also count as numbers.

Absolutely. The concept that zero is a number, and not just "nothing" was a major advance in mathematics back in 300 BC.

Yes, it counts. All numbers are concepts, and that's what zero represents, a concept.

yes. 0 is a whole number, a rational number, an integer, and a real number.
