When we write the JavaScript code and run it in browser it runs perfectly but what if you want to run it on server(your computer) and not in some browser.
then Nodejs come into the picture.
And Nodejs give a runtime environment for your JavaScript
Actually Nodejs used the same engine as that of chrome browser.

It is a JavaScript runtime built on Google Chrome V8 Javascript engine.

Javascript runtime is a place where we can execute our javascript code
it is like a container or enviroment where we can execute there code
simply we write javascript code and run into the browser then browser internally using the V8 javascript engine and give the run time environment and this engine is nothing but a program that execute your javascript code
but if see that browser is the place where we cana run our javascript code in the browser, but we know that internally browser using the javascript V8 engine
then we talk about that what is this.

Javascript engine is program that execute the js code .It is like a container or environment where js code executed.
chrome : used the V8 javascript engine
Mozilla Firefox : used the Spidermonkey

we also know that nodejs is also called as asynchronous event-driven javaScript runtime then we can not understand some time what is ,means that
asynchronous means that not a particular sequence for executing the tasks when ever the I/O is free it will execute the task accordingly
Happy coding
