Why is zero a counting number?
zero is not a counting number. if you count the number of kids in a room, would you start with the number 0?
0 is not in the set of?
You can invent an infinite number of sets that don't contain the number zero. For a start, a common set that doesn't contain the zero is the set of natural, or counting, numbers (1, 2, 3...).You can invent an infinite number of sets that don't contain the number zero.

What all the counting numbers?
1to9 are counting numbers Counting numbers are positive whole numbers and not zero. They can also be called 'natural numbers'. They are so called because when you count, you start at +1, then +2, +3 and continue on in this... That would be zero, and negative integers. "Counting numbers" refers to integers (whole numbers) that are positive (larger than zero).
Are integers counting numbers?
No- not exactly. Negative integers are not counting numbers. Positive integers are identified with counting numbers. Many authors like to start with zero as a counting number.
What is the difference between a whole number and a counting number?
Nothing, except whole numbers include 0 (zero) while counting numbers start with 1 (one)
