Best Answer

Objects smaller than planets and dwarf planets, which are not moons, are called asteroids.

The smallest are called meteoroids, especially when they encounter a larger body, and micrometeoroids if they are as small as grains of sand or dust, or even smaller.

(because of their low mass, micrometeors can survive atmospheric deceleration to reach the surface)
