Zero on the keyboard

I was wondering why the zero key follows (is to the right of) the 9
key on a qwerty keyboard. Doesn't it make more sense for the zero key
to preceed the 1 key? Does anyone have any insight into the reason for
this?
Also why is the zero key on the numeric keypad so large?

TIA Bob
