No. A Comet is a relative large body that is seen for many days. A meteor is the flash of a tiny bit of sand or gravel, usually left over from a comet.
Comet Swift-Tuttle
Earth's orbit crossing the orbit of a defunct comet.
The comet responsible for the Leonids meteor shower is Comet Tempel-Tuttle, which takes about 33 years to complete one orbit around the sun. When Earth passes through the debris trail left behind by this comet, we experience the annual Leonids meteor shower.
A comet has a long tail (hence the name comet meaning long-haired star) while a meteor is only a beam of light.

The Taurids are an annual meteor shower associated with the comet Encke.
Meteor "showers" happen when the Earth passes through the orbit of a comet, or where a comet once was. Most of the meteors are dust-sized, and when a comet approaches the Sun, the Sun's heat and light melt some of its ice and blow the dust and vapor into the "tail" of the comet.But the dust continues along in the same orbit as the comet; just a little slower.The ancient comet's orbit passes near the Earth at one spot along the Earth's orbit, and the Earth goes through pretty much the same path each year. So meteor "showers" happen on the same day each year.
comet moves slowly and appears in the sky for a longer time. meteor moves swifty and seems to fall on the ground.
