I'm not so sure about those limits, but I believe 'asteroids' is what you're getting at.

There are no definite size requirements for categorizong astronomical objects, so your "1 to 500 miles" restriction isn't especially meaningful. The original answer of "asteroids" is certainly correct, as virtually all asteroids would fall within that range, but there are many smaller objects which would also qualify as "asteroids". The general "rule of thumb" is that if we see it in the sky and it's smaller than a dwarf planet, then it's an asteroid. If it is so small that we can't see it, it's a "meteoroid" and we'll discover it when it hits us.

On the larger end of the range, any object that's massive enough to be crushed into a spherical shape by its own gravity would qualify as a "dwarf planet" rather than an asteroid.
