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)

Asteriods, orbitting Sun along the asteroid belt between Mars' and Jupiter's orbits, are still small but bigger than comets. Planets and natural satellites are also rock and orbit Sun but are a lot bigger.
