The large bodies are the planets. The small bodies are the asteroids.

The large bodies can be divided into two parts. The smaller inner rocky planets viz. Mercury. Venus, Earth, Mars. The larger outer gas giants viz. Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune.

Between Mars & Jupiter is the mean region of the Asteroid Belt, which are large and small rocky particles. Sometimes, these rocky particles leave their mean region and extend to Earth etc., and we see them as meteors. they either crash to Earth with a flash of light or 'bounce' off the upper atmosphere back into space, which we see as a streak across the sky.

Like Saturn has its rings, the Solar System has a ring ; the asteroid belt.

What is a collection of large and small bodies that orbit your central star?

A collection of large and small bodies that orbit a central star is known as a solar system. This system typically includes planets, moons, asteroids, comets, and other celestial objects, all bound by gravitational forces. The central star, often a sun, provides the energy necessary for sustaining life on planets and influences the orbits of the surrounding bodies.

What are objects that orbir planets?

Objects that orbit planets are primarily known as moons or natural satellites. These celestial bodies can vary in size and composition, ranging from small, irregularly shaped rocks to large, spherical bodies like Earth's Moon. Additionally, artificial satellites, which are human-made objects, also orbit planets for purposes such as communication, weather monitoring, and scientific research.
