The large bodies are the planets. The small bodies are the asteroids.
The large bodies can be divided into two parts. The smaller inner rocky planets viz. Mercury. Venus, Earth, Mars. The larger outer gas giants viz. Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune.
Between Mars & Jupiter is the mean region of the Asteroid Belt, which are large and small rocky particles. Sometimes, these rocky particles leave their mean region and extend to Earth etc., and we see them as meteors. they either crash to Earth with a flash of light or 'bounce' off the upper atmosphere back into space, which we see as a streak across the sky.
Like Saturn has its rings, the Solar System has a ring ; the asteroid belt.
