I received the following question but was unable to provide a satisfactory response....anyone willing to give it a shot?

My students have a question I cannot answer -- yet.

If a meteor is an moving object in the universe, how did we chose the word meteorology for the study of the atmosphere (and its relationship to weather) -- it seems that the two words don't really have a relationship.

Thanks.
