 There are millions of Minor Planets in orbit. Minor Planets are  more commonly referred to as Asteroids. Most are too small to be seen from Earth and reside between Mars and Jupiter. However there are Near Earth Asteroids.  For more info about Minor Planets check out Bill Arnet's  The Nine Planets.
