.
The cardinality of the empty set is zero, because the empty set has zero elements.

The cardinality of a set is the number of elements in the set.
The number of elements in the empty set is 0, so the cardinality of the empty set is zero.

I think you meant to say Ø instead of { Ø }
There's a slight difference between these two sets.
They are not the same.
