No. A meteor is an object falling through the atmosphere, likely at a very high speed. Touching such a fast moving object can result in serious injury. A meteorite, which is a meteor that has stuck the ground, can samfely be touched. Contrary to popular belief, meteorites are not hot. The burn through the upper atmosphere is very brief, so little heat is transferred to the object.
