Asteroids are smaller than planets. A few of the asteroids are fairly large; Ceres, for example, is a "dwarf planet" that's bigger than Pluto. But many of the asteroids are a few miles, or a few dozen miles, across. That isn't very big, compared to Mars or Earth.

Small planets with orbits between mars and jupiter?
Between the orbit of Mars and Jupiter, there is the asteroid belt. This is made up of millions of small rocks that are in a direct orbit around the sun. Most of these objects are boulder sized or smaller, but some are quite large. The largest is a Dwarf planet called Ceres, which is around 975km in diameter. Its the only one in the asteroid belt called a dwarf planet as it it big enough, and has enough gravity to make itself into a spherical shape.
What is the difference between dwarf planets and asteroids?
For an object to be a planet it has to : orbit the sun, has enough mass to assume a rounded shape, and clear any objects in its path. Some planets (such as Pluto) are no longer planets because they do not fit the criteria above. They are then usually classed as dwarf planets. Asteroids are small pieces of rock which orbit the sun. These are much too small to become planets/dwarf planets and also don't fit the criteria above. Hope this helps :)
