Contrary to the above answer, small meteorites are often very cold when they reach the ground and may even form frost.. While a meteor is exposed to extremely high temperatures while falling, most of that heat goes into melting the outer layers, which are then stripped away. This stripping of material means that relatively little heat reaches the meteorite's interior.
