How satellite pictures of earth are made and transmitted?
Satellite pictures of Earth are taken by a camera mounted on a satellite in orbit, high above Earth's atmosphere. They are transmitted wirelessly over satellite signals, much like satellite TV.
Why is it important that a satellite be above Earths atmosphere?
Please remember that close to Earth's surface, a satellite must move at a speed of about 7900 meters/second. If it is inside the Earth's atmosphere, the force of friction will make the satellite lose energy. As a result, it will soon crash to the Earth's surface.
Why does a satellite not fly off into space from the earth's atmosphere?
because the earth's gravity keeps it in place

What could cause a satellite to descend low enough that it burns up in earth's atmosphere?
Friction.The Earth's atmosphere never really ends, it just gets thinner and thinner until it seamlessly merges into the solar atmosphere. Satellites in low Earth orbit experience enough drag that they can slow down, which results in them dropping nearer to Earth, where they experience even more drag.

Why rain affect satellite?
The satellite is in space, the satellite receiver is on Earth. The rain is in the atmosphere between the satellite and the receiver. The more rain, the more of the signal from the satellite will be used up by the atmosphere on its way down instead of reaching the receiver.

Sputnik was the first satellite launched outside of Earth's atmosphere. It was launched by the Russians.
How does Titans atmosphere compare with the atmospheres of other satellite in the solar system?
Titan is the only satellite in the solar system to have a substantial atmosphere. Others do have very tenuous atmosphere, but Titant's atmosphere is even denser than Earth's.
Do satellite ever stop in space?
No, they do not stop until they reenter the earth's atmosphere.
