Answer:
Satellites don't fall from the sky because they are orbiting Earth. Even when satellites are thousands of miles away, Earth's gravity still tugs on them. Gravity--combined with the satellite's momentum from its launch into space--cause the satellite go into orbit above Earth, instead of falling back down to the ground.

Hey XD..... here is ur answer

A satellite maintains its orbit by balancing two factors: its velocity (the speed it takes to travel in a straight line) and the gravitational pull that Earth has on it. A satellite orbiting closer to the Earth requires more velocity to resist the stronger gravitational pull.
