Good question but easy answer
the Moon isn't being accelerated at all. It just goes in a "straight line". On the other hand, you aren't falling through the Earth because you're being accelerated - you're not moving "in a straight line". It's not something very easy to understand, I'm afraid - it requires accepting that spacetime isn't just a some mix of space and time; it's the spacetime as a whole that's being curved, and the curvature means that the "direct" path between two points is curved as well (far more than the curvature of space on its own, if you tried to separate it)

but why the meteor and satellite fall?
Because ▶️meteors completely burn up in the atmosphere, resulting in a bright streak that can be seen across the night sky, However, when meteors survive their high-speed plunge toward Earth and drop to the ground, they are called meteorites.
