thanks!

also is it normal for a planet to orbit an asteroid -i just made it up... is it normal or wacked

this site is great thanks to all
Keep in mind that there is only so much you can make up before a reader is going to throw the book at the wall in mingled disbelief and frustration. The more far-fetched a thing is, the better your writing is going to have to be to pull it off.

And I can't see a planet orbiting an asteroid, unless the asteroid was huge - orbits are governed by gravity, gravity is governed by size. Besides which, without a star, they'd both be frozen and unihabitable. A small asteroid orbiting a large asteroid, possibly. There are smarter minds than mine here that could probably add a whole lot more...
