Gravity.
The gravitational force on a satellite is towards the center of the Earth. The gravitational force IS the centripetal force is this case, so the centripetal force pulls the satellite towards the center of the Earth. There is no balancing force that pulls the satellite outwards (if there were, it wouldn't accelerate, i.e., change direction).
Gravity is the force that pulls objects towards each other, such as the force that pulls you down towards the Earth's surface.
The force that pulls objects towards the center of the Earth is called gravity.
The force that pulls objects down towards the center of the Earth is called gravity.
Gravity pulls objects towards each other.
Gravity
The force that pulls objects towards the Earth is called gravity. It is an invisible force that acts between all objects with mass, pulling them towards each other.

Gravity is the force that pulls all objects towards the Earth. It is responsible for keeping us grounded and is what makes objects fall towards the Earth when dropped.
The mutual forces of gravity pull you and the Earth towards each other.
The force that pulls an object toward earth also pulls the earth toward the object.The two forces are equal. Together, we refer to them as the force of gravity.
