I believe you are referring to lighting, the visible discharge to do potential difference.
The streak of light created by a meteoroid entering the Earth's atmosphere is called a meteor. A meteorite is the remains of a meteoroid that did not vaporize after entering the Earth's atmosphere.
As it falls through the atmosphere and heats up, the glowing streak of light is called a meteor. If fragments of the object actually get through the atmosphere and fall to the ground, the fragments are called meteorites.
The bright streak of light is the meteoroid burning up in the atmosphere due to friction from its extreme velocity. If the meteoroid completely burns up, it is called a meteor; if part of it makes it to the ground, it is called a meteorite.
The streak color of azurite is light blue to blue.
When a meteoroid enters Earth's atmosphere, it becomes a meteor. Friction with the atmosphere causes it to heat up and produce a bright streak of light in the sky. If any fragments survive the journey to the ground, they are called meteorites.

Meteor is the term used to describe the streak of light (also called a shooting star) that passes through the atmosphere. The light is caused when a meteroid hits the atmosphere and burns up.

"Meteor" does.
The streak of light observed when a meteoroid enters Earth's atmosphere is caused by friction between the incoming object and the air molecules in the atmosphere. This friction generates intense heat, causing the meteoroid to superheat and ionize the surrounding air, creating the luminous trail that we see as a streak of light.

Depending on what you are thinking of, it could be either Lightning, or a meteor seen at night.
