What can cause satellites to fall out of the sky?
Satellites may fall out of the sky because they get too close to Earth. In that case, Earth overwhelmed the power of the satellite's propelling system and slowly but surely dragged the satellite into the Earth's atmosphere.
How many satellites in sky?
about 3,000
How many satellites cross the sky in 1 hour?

How many satellites needed to get a position?

Things That Fall from the Sky has 224 pages.
How many GPS satellites are in the sky?

Why doun't satellites fall from the sky?
Interestingly enough the sattelites are doing their level best at falling from the sky. The whole idea is that at orbital velocity the objects move forward fast enough that they continously miss the Earth as they fall down. In the ideal case satellites are in orbit. This means that they circle the Earth at a specific speed and a specific height. Because satellites aren't in Earth's atmosphere nothing slows them down. If they did slow down it would reduce the height they orbit at. If the height were reduced they would encounter thicker air which would slow them down more, which would lower their height more. This cycle would continue until they crashed. In actuality the satellites do slow down very slowly because the air is not totally absent. Eventually all satellites will fall from the sky.
Do satellites move fast in the sky?
No they don't move fast in the sky
Why did the sky fall?

Do satellites in orbit around Earth continuously fall toward earth?
Satellites orbit the earth for a few years then fall to earth however they are directed to fall to the sea
