a planet like our own
There is no "small dense object" that orbits between Mars and Jupiter. There are however numerous asteroids which are rocky objects up to a few hundred miles in diameter that orbit in this region making up what is called the asteroid belt.
An object that circles another object is said to be in orbit around it. The object being circled is typically larger and exerts a gravitational force that keeps the circling object in its path. Examples of such objects include the Moon orbiting the Earth and planets orbiting the Sun.
An object composed of dust, ice, and rock which orbits the Sun is called a comet.
Although the sun is bigger, the moon is not small. When placed at a certain distance before the moon, it able to hide the shine of the sun.
The small body that circles the sun with a high elliptical orbit is a comet. Comets are icy bodies that originate from the outer regions of the solar system and can develop bright tails as they pass close to the sun.

a planet
A small spherical object orbiting the sun would be called a planet, asteroid, or comet, depending on its characteristics and orbit.
The small body that circles the sun with a high elliptical orbit is a comet. Comets are icy bodies that originate from the outer regions of the solar system and can develop bright tails as they pass close to the sun.
The moon circles around the earth; the earth circles around the sun.
