All planets orbit the sun in a plane, all the planets orbit the sun in the same direction, most of the planets rotate in the same direction. I'm not sure when and answer ends or begins on your question so you can choose from some of the answers I gave you.
The strength of the friction doesn't matter. Neither does the distance or the time the asteroid takes to stop. All that matters is that the asteroid has
1/2 (mass) (speed squared)
of kinetic energy when it lands, and zero when it stops.
So
1/2 (mass) (original speed squared)
is the energy it loses to friction in order to come to rest.
