A more thorough explanation:

Your Honor

Your Honor is a respectful way to address a judge in court. It is the traditional way to show respect to a judge. For example, when a lawyer is speaking to a judge in court, they would say "Your Honor" instead of using the judge's name.

During a trial, the lawyer said, "Your Honor, I object to the witness's testimony."

The judge replied, "Overruled."

Another example is when a judge is being introduced to someone. The person would say, "It's an honor to meet you, Your Honor."

These examples show how "Your Honor" is used to show respect to a judge in a formal setting like a courtroom.
