These are the celestial bodies from the sky which we see as a bright streak of light that flashes across the sky during the night.
Meteors can only be seen due to their bright light.
But this bright light can not be seen during the day because the light produced by the sun is much more than that of the meteors.
Hence, the light of the meteors blends with the light of the sun and we are not able to see meteors during the day.
