A small spherical object orbiting the sun would be called a planet, asteroid, or comet, depending on its characteristics and orbit.
Asteroid: elatively small, inactive body, composed of rock, carbon or metal, which is orbiting the Sun. Comet: A relatively small, sometimes active object, which is composed of dirt and ices. Comets are characterised by dust and gas tails when in proximity to the Sun. Far from the Sun it is difficult to distinguish an asteroid from a comet. Meteoroid: A small particle from an asteroid or comet orbiting he Sun. Meteor:A meteoroid that is observed as it burns up in the Earth's atmosphere - a shooting star. Meteorite: A meteoroid that survives its passage through the Earth's atmosphere and impacts the Earth's surface.A meteoroid is a meteor that hits earth and is recorded, a meteor just keeps orbiting, and orbiting the sun
The small lumps orbiting the sun are called asteroids. They are rocky objects that vary in size and are mostly located in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter.
An asteroid has a inactive body, composed of rock, carbon or metal, which is orbiting the sun. Comets are sometimes an active object, which is composed of dirt and ice.
It is an asteroid.
orbiting the sun
Due to the abnormal amount of rust and radioactive materials on the planet Mars, some people suggest that there was a second sun in the solar system orbiting in the asteroid belt about 200 million years ago

Asteroids are found orbiting the Sun in between Jupiter and Mars. So, the answer is "the Asteroid Belt".
It's called the Asteroid belt. See the related link for more informtion.

A rock or minor planet orbiting the sun is typically referred to as an asteroid. Asteroids are rocky remnants left over from the formation of the solar system that orbit the sun. They can vary in size from small rock fragments to large bodies several hundred kilometers in diameter.
