It depends on what the object is. If it orbits a planet, then it is a moon. If it orbits the sun and is made of rock and/or metal then it is an asteroid or meteoroid depending on its size. If it is primarily made of ice then it is a comet. Dwarf planets are planet-like objects that do not meet all the criteria of a planet.
