∙ 13y agoThat would be the job of an astronomer, except that, in space, a meteor would be called a meteroid. They are only meteors for the brief flash of time they enter an atmosphere, such as our atmosphere. The light is caused by the frictional heat ablation (burning off) of surface material. If they manage to hit the ground, they become meteorites.

What would happen if lightning struck a meteor?
The lightning would travel through the meteor or through the plasma sheath around it. Some of the surface of the meteor may melt, though this will happen to a meteor anyway. Otherwise the meteor would be unaffected. The stress of atmospheric entry is much greater than any stress created by the lightning.
