There is a proof, but it is rather complicated to appear here. An intuitive way of thinking about it is to write a list of powers for any number (we'll use 2):
Power: 1 2 3 4 5
Result: 2 4 8 16 32
What you can note is that the next power is calculated by multiplying the current power by the 2; so 25 = 32, 26 = (32 x 2) = 64.
Working the other way, you can generate the previous power by dividing by 2; 25 = 32, 24 = (32 / 2) = 16.
Using this last technique, 21 = 2, 20 = (2/2) = 1.
It should be easy to see that this is true for any number x1 = x and x0 = (x/x) = 1.

What is 7 to 0 power?
Any value to the power of 'zero' is equal; to '1' So 7^0 = 1 Similarly 7,000,000^0 = 1 Similarly 0.000007^0 = 1
What is zero exponent?
If a number (other than 0) has 0 as an exponent, it equals 1! It may be hard to believe but it is true, no matter what number. If a number has no exponent, there is basically an invisible 1 as the exponent, so the number would be equal to itself. Zero with the exponent zero is meaningless.
16 to the 0 power?
1. Every number raised to power of 0 gives 1.
What is 10 raised to the power of 0?
100 = 1.Any number to the power of 0 equals 1.
What is the value of a number to the zero power?
Any number to the power of zero is always equal to 1
