Zero, term applied to the number representing naught, denoted by the symbol 0. The fundamental arithmetic properties of the number 0 are: a + 0 = a,a - 0 = a, and a à 0 = 0, in which a is any number; and 0 ÷ b = 0, in which b is any number other than 0. Division by 0 is not defined and therefore is an inadmissible operation. In the real-number system, 0 is the only number that is neither negative nor positive, and it represents the boundary between the negative and the positive numbers. This property makes 0 the natural starting point, or origin, on many scales, as on the coordinate axes and on thermometers.
In the development of written notation, a symbol for zero was evolved long after symbols for the other numbers were invented. The Babylonians used written symbols for numbers thousands of years before they invented a symbol for zero. Zero was introduced initially, not as a number to be used in computation, but as a position marker to distinguish between such numbers as 123, 1203, 1230, and 1023. The Maya, about the 1st century ad, used a small oval containing an inner arc to denote zero. About five centuries later the Hindus began to use a circle or a dot as a symbol for zero; the dot later fell into disuse. These Indian mathematicians wrote numbers in columns, and they used the zero to represent a blank column. The Hindu word for zero was ÅÅnya, meaning empty, or void; this word, translated and transliterated by the Arabs as sifr, is the root of the English words cipher and zero.

Zero has no value.
eg. 0+1 = 1, see zero did not add any thing to it. But 1+1=2
Any number to the power is one, but that is because Zero has no value. If zero had a value it would be other then one.
"a"' to the power zero is, "a" divided by "a", this is by definition of indexii, or exponential zero.
so a/a=1, this does not mean zero equals one. The value one comes from definition, not From zero, it come from 'a' itself.

Zero has absolutly no value, it is used in absence of value. e.g 1-1= nothing; thus no value so zero is used. ('rups' answer is incorrect cos 1000 has nothing to do with zero other than haveing 3 zeros moving the 1 on the left into differant multiples of 10). You should probley mention what level of maths you study, so the answer can be more suitable, otherwise you are gunna get a lot of vauge answers.

zero (0) has a value or not ?
If there is a value then what is the value?

In the beginning was a Word.
This Word was written down by formula: T=0K.

Value of 0 depend on what is there on its left. Insert a 0 between 1 and 0s in hunderd, then it will become 1000.

every number has a value...zero's value is nothing. but in several problems it does make a difference
adding and subtracting --zero's do not effect the outcome of the problem
multiplying- all numbers multiplied by zero are zero
dividing- a number divided by zero is not a number but zero divided by a number = zero
the square root of zero is 0 and zero squared is zero

The answer to the question depends on the number sets you are using. Take for example the measure of temperature.. The temperature of something is usually measured in Farenheight or Celcius. If you double the number for Farenheight you do not necessarily double the number for celsius. This means that the figure 0 is meaningless.
I would reccomend you read up on number sets:
Nominal
Ordinal
Interval
Ratio
A brief study of these will answer your question with great accuracy.

zero as such has no value. but when in the place value system, it shows that the value of that PLACE VALUE is zero. FCAE VALUE of zero is nil

zero(0) is a whole number.it has a value when there is another number or a decimal point to its left.
