Which planets are small solar system bodies?
The eight planets of our system are not considered small solar system bodies, to qualify as a planet in the first place means that they have to be quite large. Small solar system bodies are such things as comets, asteroids, meterorids, moons or minor planets.
What are the rocky bodies that orbit between the inner and outer planets?
These rocky bodies are called "Asteroids".
