why math object js called static object

In most programming languages Math isn't a class but for the sake of argument, let's compare JavaScript to Java.

In Java, Math is a static class. It can't be instantiated. new Math doesn't make sense.

In JavaScript, a class is just a function that is designed to be called with the new operator and there is no such thing as a static class.

Since Math isn't designed to be instantiated and can't be called as a function, there's no reason to make it a function (or a class). It is just a thing designed to collect a bunch of properties together … and that is the basic definition of an object in JavaScript.
