What thing in space is often called a snow-ball?
Asteroids are sometimes called," Dirty Snowballs".
What is a band of asteroids called?
The band of asteroids is called (the asteroid belt)
What are the rock objects called that crisscross the orbits of the planets?
They are still called asteroids. But some refer to them as "rogue" asteroids, or "asteroids in irregular orbits".
Bodies of rocks orbiting the sun are called?
Asteroids
What are rocky asteroids called?
Rocky asteroids are commonly referred to as "stony asteroids." These bodies are primarily composed of silicate minerals and metals, distinguishing them from other types of asteroids, such as carbonaceous or metallic asteroids. Stony asteroids are often found in the inner asteroid belt and are classified into different groups based on their specific mineral compositions. Examples include the S-type (silicaceous) asteroids, which are primarily made of rock and metal.
Which of these refers to a small celestial object orbiting the Sun and ranging in size from a grain of sand to a boulder?

Which asteroids travel before and behind the planet Jupiter?
The asteroids that travel in orbits that take them ahead of Jupiter are called "Trojan asteroids." They are located in two groups, known as the Greek camp and the Trojan camp, positioned along Jupiter's orbit around the sun. These asteroids have stable orbits because they are in gravitational equilibrium with Jupiter and the sun.
What are the asteroids the follow and precede Jupiter in a gravitational well called?
The asteroids that follow Jupiter in its orbit are called Trojans, while the ones that precede Jupiter are referred to as Greeks. These asteroids orbit the Sun in two distinct swarms located around the Lagrange points of Jupiter's orbit.
What are the small bodies that orbit the sun between Mars and Jupiter called?
There are called asteroids.
