Best Answer

Many people actually find this issue confusing.

They named meteorology like that but its nothing about meteors. The word "meteorology" came from the Greek word meteōrologiā, the meaning of meteōrologiā is "things that fall from the sky'' that's why they named it like that

Hope this helps. Your welcome! :)
