noun

流星，陨星

Any atmospheric phenomenon. (Thus the derivation of meteorology.) These were sometimes classified as aerial or airy meteors (winds), aqueous or watery meteors (hydrometeors: clouds, rain, snow, hail, dew, frost), luminous meteors (rainbows and aurora), and igneous or fiery meteors (lightning and shooting stars).

Examples :

"In the old science book, clouds, rain, and even shooting stars were all called meteors, showing how the word once meant any phenomenon in the atmosphere. "

在那本旧科学书里，云、雨，甚至是流星都被叫做“meteors”（当时译为大气现象），这表明这个词曾经指代大气层中的任何现象。
