This is because of the identity property of multiplication

Anything mutiply by zero is zero.

When you multiply a number by a different number, you take as many groups of the first number as there are of the second number. For example, multiplying 2 by 3, you are taking three groups of 2. Three groups of two things are equal to six things; 2 times 3 = 6.

If you multiply by zero, you are taking zero groups of a number. Zero groups of something is nothing (zero).
