Not really. A "meteor" is the streak of light created as a space rock falls into the atmosphere and heats up to incandescence due to friction and compressive heating. The meteor is the light, not the rock. The temperature of the space rock would vary from pretty close to absolute zero at the center (depending on where the rock was in space before it started heading toward the Earth) and thousands of degrees on the surface,
