Java is called a platform independent language because compiled Java code (called bytecode) can run on any operating system or hardware platform that has a Java Virtual Machine (JVM).  Some Key Reasons Java is Platform Independent are mention below:

• Compilation to Bytecode: When you compile Java code (.java files), it gets converted into bytecode (.class files), not directly into machine code.
• JVM Executes Bytecode: The bytecode is executed by the JVM, which is available for different platforms (Windows, Linux, macOS, etc.). This means the same bytecode can run on any system with a compatible JVM.
• "Write Once, Run Anywhere": Because of the JVM, Java developers can write code once and run it anywhere—without needing to recompile for different platforms.
