What is a minor body that orbits the orbit or neptune?
An object that orbits Neptune would be called a MOON of Neptune, if it is large enough.
What is a minor body that orbits the orbit of Neptune?

What is the minor body that orbits outside the orbit of neptune?
There are many trans-Neptunian objects (over 570,000 of them). Some of them are:-PlutoHaumeaMakemakeEris
What is a minor body that obits outside the orbit of Neptune?

A small rocky body that orbits the sun?
Asteroid - a small, rocky body that orbits the Sun.
Why does Neptune have satellites even thought it is not orbited by any that are man-made?
The definition of a "satellite" is anything that orbits a larger body. Moons are satellites (natural satellites), and Neptune has 13 known moons.
What a large body that orbits a star called?
Well by large bodies you mean planets, so its Mercury,venus, saturn, earth uranius,neptune,mars,jupiter.
Which planetary body orbits the Earth?
The Moon is the planetary body that orbits the Earth.
Why did astronomers begin searching for a planet X?
Astronomers began searching for Planet X to explain discrepancies in the orbits of Uranus and Neptune. Observations indicated the presence of an unknown massive celestial body affecting the orbits of these planets.
A rocky body that orbits the sun between the planets?
It sounds like you are describing an asteroid, which is a small rocky body that orbits the sun. Asteroids are most commonly found in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, but they can exist in various other regions of the solar system as well.
If Pluto has not cleared its neighborhood of objects in its orbit then neither has Neptune since Pluto crosses its orbit Why is Neptune not excluded from the list of planets?
It crosses another planet's orbital path. Since Pluto is not a planet, it does not matter. Comets always pass other planets' orbital paths. They are still called planets. Countless asteriods and comets orbits the sun and crosses every planets orbital path. Pluto is somewhat a part of them.There is something circular about the logic in the above answer; see discussion.Probably a stronger answer is the fact that even though a section of the orbit of Pluto comes within the orbit of Neptune, the harmonic relationship between the two bodies is such that they can never collide, barring some catastrophic event that alters one or both orbits. Neptune and Pluto are locked in this harmonic relationship where for every three orbits of Neptune there is exactly two orbits of Pluto. So Pluto cannot be seen as an object that Neptune must clear. Pluto is more like an unusual moon of Neptune.
What is the name of the small body of the moon that orbits a planet?
The small body of the moon that orbits a planet is called a satellite.
