What are Green Threads in java

Situation based questions Suppose you have 2 threads (Thread-1 and Thread-2) on same object. Thread-1 is in synchronized method1(), can Thread-2 enter
synchronized method2() at same time?
Suppose you have 2 threads (Thread-1 and Thread-2) on same object. Thread-1 is in static synchronized method1(), can Thread-2 enter
static synchronized method2() at same time?
Suppose you have 2 threads (Thread-1 and Thread-2) on same object. Thread-1 is in synchronized method1(), can Thread-2 enter static
synchronized method2() at same time?
Suppose you have thread and it is in synchronized method and now can thread enter other synchronized method from that method?

Suppose you have thread and it is in static synchronized method and now can thread enter other static synchronized method from that
method?

method?
Suppose you have thread and it is in synchronized method and now can thread enter other static synchronized method from that method?
Suppose you have 2 threads (Thread-1 on object1 and Thread-2 on object2). Thread-1 is in synchronized method1(), can Thread-2 enter
