There are three known asteroid belts (the Asteroid Belt, the Kuiper Belt, and the Oort Cloud) orbiting Sol, as well as many comets, planetoids, and other objects.
Asteroids are called minor planets because they are celestial objects that orbit the sun just like planets do, but they are much smaller in size compared to planets. The term "minor" distinguishes them from the larger, more traditional planets in our solar system.
The scattered disk beyond the orbit of Neptune doesn't contain any true planets as such, but a number of icy minor planets (like Sedna), the largest known of which is Eris (which is larger than Pluto).
The only planet in our solar system that went from a classification as major to a classification as dwarf is Pluto.Here is a list of ALL 13 known planets. The dwarf planets are in bold and underlined:MercuryVenusEarthMarsCeresJupiterSaturnUranusNeptunePlutoHaumeaMakemakeErisDwarf planets also fall under the category of minor planets, of which there are thousands in our solar system. As of 2017, the orbits of 734,274 minor planets were archived at the Minor Planet Center, 496,815 of which had received permanent numbers. The largest minor planet that is not considered to be a dwarf planet is Sedna.
Not sure about ateroids. If you means asteroids, the Minor Planets Centre, the organisation responsible for collecting observational data for such objects, there was enough information for over 600,000 asteroids for them to have a formal designation - a number.

They are sometimes called minor planets (not mirror planets).They aren't planets really, but they are a bit like little planets orbiting the Sun.
The ones we know of - and can get a decent albedo reading and spectroscopic analysis of - seem to have rocky cores covered with ices, by and large, but there is still much more not known about the minor planets than is known. Also note that this answer assumes by the "minor planets" you are talking primarily about the trans-Neptunian objects. If by "minor planets" you meant the larger asteroids of the asteroid belt, they are rocks, to keep it simple.
Yes, the solar system consists of a large central star (called the sun for our solar system), with planets that ore in orbit around it. There are other bodies in orbit around the sun also, such as minor planets, asteroids, comets, and other small objects.
Examples of minor planets include asteroids, Kuiper belt objects, and centaurs. These are celestial objects that orbit the Sun but are not classified as major planets like Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, etc. Minor planets can vary in size, shape, and composition.
Yes.

Minor planets are astronomical objects that areÊneither classified as planets or comets. They are also in direct orbitÊwith the sun.Ê
Currently there are only two planets with satellites orbiting them, Mars (a few of them) and Saturn (Cassini). All the planets excluding Uranus and Neptune have had satellites orbiting them at some point. We do also have two satellites orbiting minor objects and they are orbiting Comet 67-P (Rosetta) and the dwarf planet Ceres (Dawn).
There are hundreds of thousands of known minor planets (asteroids). There might be hundreds of dwarf planets. A dwarf planet is basically an asteroid that is large enough to have a round shape.
Our solar system consists of:The SunThe 8 planetsThe 5 dwarf planetsThe moons that orbit the planets and dwarf planetsThe more than 700,000 smaller objects, known as minor planets, asteroids, and comets
333273 Minor planets are in the wonderful universe !! If you can find some no-named minor planet, go to IAU (International Astronomical Union) to report.
