cartopy *whl is not a supported wheel on this platform

I am running Python 3.11.3 on VSCode Studio. But I want to install Cartopy, and it's not working. The code is given below.

C:\Users\HomePC\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python311>pip install 
C:\Users\HomePC\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python311\Cartopy-0.20.2-cp310-cp310-win32.whl

The error is this:

ERROR: Cartopy-0.20.2-cp310-cp310-win32.whl is not a supported wheel on this platform.

Please advise on how to resolve this matter.
