Answering your question "How many zero's in infinity?" is probably the best way to get across the true meaning of the word "infinity".
The word is chucked about a lot by some people trying to express how huge something is ~ and although in physics and math it is understood what it means ~ most people just think ot it as meaning SO bloody many that it would take way too long to count.
'FINITE' means having borders, or a limit. 'INFINITE' means that there are no borders, it doesn't stop ANYWHERE and has no limits whatsoever ~ a hard concept for our minds to really grab on to.
You could use many things in the place of 'zeros', and it would be the same.They would just go on forever and never stop. EVER. Infinite here means that there is no number where you stop adding zeros. .......not even using the poetic phrase "until the end of time" ..... because time is only a measurement.... is not a finite thing either....but that's another whole subject!
If you know that a number is infinIte you might as well only add three or four or 10 zeros......followed by a sign which my keyboard unfortunately doesn't have..... (the one which looks like a thin 8 lying on its side)
Hope this makes a bit of sense. The word itself makes your mind almost ache with the concept......!

It took me a while to understand the question.
Consider 1, 10, 100, 1000 etc.
Infinity is not a number. Think of infinity as a noun referring to a property - non endingness.
Another noun like that is beauty.
Some large numbers have a large number of zeros, and a bigger number can always be found with more.
I will answer a simpler question:
How many digits in infinity?
Answer: an infinite number. Incidentally, if you spot an apparent paradox in this, don't be surprised. There are many apparent paradoxes in mathematics.

an indetermine number
1010......... is infinite with every other digit being 0
1111 ...... is infinite but with no 0's
you are probably thinking of "what power of ten" .. and again the answer has to be infinite.
actually its wrong to think in terms of infinity being any particular number. the lowest order of infinite is the integers that are "countable". but the set of all ordered sequences of integers (or the real numbers which is tantamount to the same thing) is a higher order of infinite. the set of all real functions is a yet higher order of infinite.
logically there ought to be an infinite number of classes of infinity, but there are some paradoxes related to the idea of "the set of all sets" being a set and so contained within itself as a proper subset.

What I would say is: ZERO is an indication of no value in the COLUMN.
What I mean is:-
0 = No Units
00 = NoTens and No Units
000 = No Hundreds No Tens No Units
etc. etc.
Take this to the INFINITE level and you would end up with an INFINITE number of '0'; one in each of the 'columns' you need to identify as being 'EMPTY'

Infinity is a concept it does exist but cannot be reached.It is similar to the concept of horizon which is the line connecting the sky and the sea it is seen at a distance but can never be reached.

Let n be the number of zeros in infinity. Now choose any positive integer m. No matter what you choose, n > m.

Inifinity is an abstract quantity which can't be expressed so in colloquial terms you can say they have inifinte amount of 0s, 1s, 2s, 3s, 4s, 5s, 6s, 7s, 8s, 9s.which extending on both sides of the number line.
that's it,
