Satellites orbit the earth for a few years then fall to earth however they are directed to fall to the sea
A rocket can rise into the air because the gases it expels with a downward action force exert an equal but opposite reaction force on the rocket. Satellites in orbit around Earth continuously fall toward Earth, but because Earth is curved they travel around it.
Gravity is a characteristic of space. Because of it, every material object encounters a force of attractiontoward every other material object. That leads to some interesting consequences:-- A satellite is attracted toward the earth.-- You are attracted toward the earth.-- The earth is attracted toward a satellite.-- A satellite is attracted toward you.-- The earth is attracted toward you.-- You are attracted toward a satellite.-- Two satellites are attracted toward each other.-- You are attracted toward Mars.-- The sun is attracted toward you.-- The sun is attracted toward a satellite.-- The sun is attracted toward my dog.-- You are attracted toward my dog, and also toward the sun.-- My dog is attracted toward Pres. Obama's golf balls....etc.

Satellites are located in the exosphere because it is the outermost layer of Earth's atmosphere and provides an ideal environment for satellites to orbit without encountering significant atmospheric drag. This allows satellites to continuously orbit the Earth and perform their intended functions, such as communication, Earth observation, and navigation.
Because they are in orbit which means they have enough forward motion to keep them into a state of "Free Fall". A satellite is falling to earth's center due to gravity. But for every inch it falls toward earth, earth move out of it's way by one inch.
Gravity is the force that allows satellites to orbit the Earth. The gravitational pull between the Earth and the satellite causes the satellite to continuously fall towards the Earth while moving forward at a speed that keeps it in orbit.

Satellites of the Earth are held in their orbits by the Earth's gravity. That includes the Moon and all the artificial satellites etc. that are up there.
Gravity pulls the satellites but the orbiting satellites don't fall down towards earth because the speed with which they move balances the gravitational force i.e. Centripetal force = Gravitational force.
