id all object does have an orbit, then why doesn't one object orbits another object?

Greater than zero!!!
Anything can be in orbit of something else (... or one another for binary systems ...). All that is required is to meet the point right below escape velocity --- meaning you are pulling away vs. falling.

Almost any object can orbit another. It is not about how big it is, but how fast it is moving.
Things will have "their own orbit" until something else moves in and collides with the first.

In this case size doesn't matter. Any object can have its own orbit.
