The gravitational pull to the satellite acts as the centripetal force that keeps the satellite in motion around the earth rather than its random 'Brownian' motion.

HI BUDDY...
YOUR ANSWER IS:
Work is done whenever the given 2 conditions are satisfied;
▪A force acts on a body
▪There is displacement of the body by the application of force in or opposite to the direction of force.
If the direction of the force is perpendicular to displacement, then the work done is zero.
When a satellite moves around the earth ,then the direction of force gravity on the satellite is perpendicular to its displacement .Hence the work done on the satellite by the earth is zero.
HOPE IT'LL HELP YOU
