zero/nought/o/nil - WordReference Forums
Zero is often used in maths or scientific situations to indicate 0....an example would be It's three degrees below zero (freezing), or typically in the countdown to a rocket launch....three, two, one, zero. It's a slightly Americanised word I think, but much used now in UK English.
Nought is much more (old-fashioned) English and means the same thing.....0, and we still use it in classrooms when teaching children maths, but it is less common nowadays I think than zero.
0 is just the number
Nil is used
