The altitude of a satellite's orbit depends on the purpose of the satellite.
Photographic satellites orbit close to the Earth, to get a good view. They are about 130 miles up. We want weather satellites and communications satellites to stay in the same spot in the sky all the time, which is called "geo-synchronous orbit", 23,500 miles up.
GPS satellites are about 12,000 miles up.
