Any of various very small planets orbiting around a sun.
That description fits the definition of an asteroid. Asteroids are rocky objects that orbit the Sun located primarily in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. They vary in size from a few meters to hundreds of kilometers in diameter.

An asteroid's definition is a object that orbits around the sun at a certain velocity, asteroids are most commonly found between the orbit of Mars and Jupiterand there is also another asteroid belt located behind the orbit of Neptune
The first confirmed case of an asteroid orbiting another asteroid is the asteroid Ida which is orbited by a smaller asteroid orbiting it called Dactyl; other asteroid moons have been found since.
Yes. By definition a meteoroid is smaller than an asteroid.
There are none. By definition, a supersition does not have a scientific basis.

Any of numerous small, often irregularly shaped rocky bodies that orbit the sun primarily in the asteroid belt
That's right; Ceres is the largest asteroid.
They are from space by definition! They are simply very large "boulders", and most in the Solar System orbit the Sun in a belt bewteen Mars and Jupiter.

It really depends on the terminology used. According to the Wikipedia, "The term "asteroid" is ill-defined. It never had a formal definition, ..."If you decide to include the dwarf planets, that would be Eris.Note that there is practically a continuum in sizes, from grains of dust, all the way to the planets.
The asteroid missed the Earth's atmosphere by inches.We will begin asteroid mining soon.
If there is an atmosphere, the light will gradually dim as the asteroid approaches the asteroid.
