Yes, the empty set is a subset of any set.

Recall the definition: A is a subset of B if every element in A is also in B. But A is empty so one can assign any property (including "membership in B") to its elements and the property will hold.

Statement "every seven-legged alligator is orange" is true for the same reason.
