The year 2020 is in the 21st century and the 3rd millennium. The 21st century spans from the year 2001 to 2100, while the 3rd millennium covers the years 2001 to 3000.
The 21st century.
1901
A century is 100 years. A millennium is 1000 years. There are 10 centuries in a millennium.
The year 1492 CE falls within the 2nd millennium, which spans from the year 1001 to 2000. Specifically, it is the last decade of the 15th century, the final century of the 2nd millennium. This period is notable for significant events, including the Age of Exploration.
Exactly one century before the last millennium was 900. This millennium started with 2001.
The 21st century.
It was the last year of the 20th century and last year of the 2nd millennium. Some will say it was the first year of the new millennium and 21st century, but that is a common misconception, even though there were celebrations for it. The year 2001 was the start of the new millennium.

No, a century is shorter than a millennium. A century is 100 years and a millennium is 1,000 years.
2009 is in the 21st century and 3rd millennium.
The time period before the millennium refers to the years leading up to the year 2000. This period is often referred to as the 20th century.
I think the century before the millennium is 100 years before so if the millennium was 2001 (which it was) the century before would be 1901.
