anyone know if year 500 is in the third century???

Question

I really need to know if year 500 is in the third century i need this byseptember 18 2007 think quick thanks!!!

Answer 1

Ummm no. The year 500 is in the 6th century. The third century consists of the years 200 a.d. to 299 a.d.

Answer 2

It would be in the 5th century.

Since there was no year # zero, it goes like this:

1-100 = 1st
101-200 =2nd
201-300 = 3rd
301-400= 4th
401-500=5th

and so on. That's why the 1900s were the 20th century, and the 2000s are the 21st!

(And "the new millennium did NOT begin when the calendar flipped from 1999 - 2000... it began on Jan 1, 2001, at least by the commonly used Gregorian calendar.)

Answer 3

It is in the first century. Year zero to 100 is the first century.
Year 100 to 200 is the second century. and so on. (yr 200 to 300 is the 3rd, 300 to 400 is 4th 400 to 500 is 5th... so year 500 is NOT IN THE THIRD CENTURY. It's in the 5th or the beginning of the 6th.

Answer 4

The year 500AD is in the 5th Century.

The year 501AD then becomes the 6th Century.

There is no year 0. One Century = 100 years so therefore years 1 to 100 is in the 1st Century.

I hope that helps clarify things.

Answer 5

the year 500 is called the 6th century.

0-99 is the first century
100-199 the second.
200-299 the third.
and so on.

Answer 6

The year 500 would be in the 6th century, wouldn't it?

Answer 7

It would be the last year of the fifth century.

Answer 8

It's the sixth century.

Answer 9

Answer 10

umm...NO!
0-100 = 1st
100-200 = 2nd
200-300 = 3rd
300-400=4th
400-500 = 5th century
