Can some one explain what it means in simple terms. Does it mean the environment (DOS, Windows, Linux, etc) where the application codes are run?

What Does Runtime Environment (RTE) Mean? The runtime environment is the environment in which a program or application is executed. It's the hardware and software infrastructure that supports the running of a particular codebase in real time.
One of the best examples of a runtime environment is Java: The Java Runtime Environment is a prerequisite for running Java programs. This makes Java programs largely independent of operating systems and thus able to be executed in any operating system with the right runtime environment.
Java Runtime Environment (JRE) is needed to run Java programs, enabling Java to work on multiple OSes. JRE performs the basic tasks that Java needs to execute code, such as loading class libraries, verifying memory access and retrieving system resources.
IDEs have a runtime environment. This means that you can execute the program one step at a time. This is useful to test that the code is working line by line before creating the final complete program.
Distinguish this from Development Environments and Build Environments.
You will tend to find a hierarchy here.
Run time environment - Everything you need to execute a program, but no tools to change it.
Build environment- Given some code written by someone, everything you need to compile it or otherwise prepare an executable that you put into a Run time environment. Build environments are pretty useless unless you can see tests what you have built, so they often include Run too. In Build you can't actually modify the code.
Development environment - Everything you need to write code, build it and test it. Code Editors and other such tools. Typically also includes Build and Run.
