Surely everyone is a year early? Same happened 10 years ago and probably every time the calendar ticked over to a year ending in zero...
Was there a year 0? Surely the new decade starts in 2021?

it's the 20's. Of course it is a new decade, regardless of what the profs say.

Conventional / Christian (Gregorian) goes straight from 1BC to 1AD. Funnily enough the concept of zero came in "just in time" in 3BC in the middle east, although the Indians popularised it 500-1000 years later. The Japanese perfected the Zero in 1939

It's not quite that simple but the short answer is there was no year 0.

A decade is a span of 10 years. It can start at whatever point you choose. Therefore, you can say that the decade of the “twenty twenties” started on 1 January 2020.
The two hundred and second decade since the start of the Anno Domini calendar begins next year.

Look at school style number charts.
Some start at 0 and the first line goes to 9. Others start at 1 and the first line finishes at 10. Hence the confusion I believe that the decade doesn't start till next year, but I confess to using both number charts when teaching kindy so what do I know

Just add a curve ball as well that every Earth year is approximately 365.25 days.

Okay... Let's compare what is considered as the "turn of a century".
The 21st century in accordance with the Gregorian calendar, began on January 1, 2001, and will end on December 31, 2100. Therefore 2020 is the last year of the decade. The new decade therefore starts on 1st Jan 2021. Problem solved.

That's maths,only numbers,in reality end of decade is over.Anyway the whole thing is numbers anyway,since a certain point in history.
Apparently there were people and things happening before that. Whichever way someone wants to look at it,but because of these differences in numbers it can affect our lives in modern times,with all these different calculations.

Yes, starts in 2021. 2020 is finishing off the last decade - pretty simple stuff

Yes from a math stand point,and religious ect ways with some,maybe it's 1 year behind,but some of us go the way of when things start and end,ie 2000-2010,a decade,2010-2020,a decade.
Not real good with math and would have to double check,but seems from start till now,it's been 202 decades.

The end of the 202nd decade isn't until the end of this year (2020). This means that 2021 is the first year of the next decade. Dr Terry |

From the start,counting from day one (AD or AC,whichever it is) to end of 2019,seems to be 202 decades.

Yeah i get that, you are right it is not that simple - 1bc is generally recognised as year zero which is the preceding 365 days prior to 1ad
Complicated enough to create an iso on it

There is NO Year Zero in the Gregorian calendar. Therefore the epoch, millennium, century, and decade, commenced 01/01/0001. "THE current Decade" will finish 31/12/2020. That said, if you were to refer to something else, such as "The 20's" then clearly that has already started.
