Essentially, setting the value in a given field to null is similar to not entering a value in the field at all. Nulls are used when a value is missing, unknown, or inapplicable. It is not the same as a blank or zero value, both of which are actual values. For example, a value of zero in the Balance field for a particular customer indicates that the customer has a zero balance. A value of null in a customer's Balance field, on the other hand, indicates that, for whatever reason, the customer's balance is unknown.
