Both throw and throws are keywords in Java
. throw
Causes the declared exception instance to be thrown. This causes execution to continue with the first enclosing exception handler declared by the catch keyword to handle an assignment compatible exception type. If no such exception handler is found in the current method, then the method returns and the process is repeated in the calling method. If no exception handler is found in any method call on the stack, then the exception is passed to the thread's uncaught exception handler.
throws
Used in method declarations to specify which exceptions are not handled within the method but rather passed to the next higher level of the program. All uncaught exceptions in a method that are not instances of RuntimeException must be declared using the throws keyword.

Both throw and throws are keywords.

throw is used to explicitly throw a user defined or predefined exception.

throws is used when dont want to handle the exception and just specify that what all exceptions the method might throw.

syntax :

access returntype  methodName() throws Exception list

note : only checked exceptions can be put up on the exception list.
