Most rockets are intended to get out of Earth's atmosphere, but many do come back down eventually.
Those that don't either have enough velocity and acceleration to get beyond enough Earth gravity to leave its orbit; others are set to exactly arrive at a particular orbit and stay there. This occurs because they are moving away from Eartha t the same rate they fall towards it.

What keeps a rocket from falling back to the surface or moving off into space?
because of gravity. In space there is a very low gravity that makes it hard for the rocket to fall back to the surface
Why did the stages fall back to earth when they separated from the rocket?
it can fly.
Why does the materials thrown upward during meteorite collisions fall back to the moon's surface?
Our Earth's only Moon enjoys a fraction of the Earth's gravity - there is some gravity there.
What happens when the first stage of the multistage rocket runs out of fuel?
The first stage is jettisoned, to fall back to earth, as the fuel runs out.
Why do objects fall towards the center of the earth?
Gravity

Why do you fall if you jump?
because gravity pulls you back to earth
What happens to objects that fall from space towards earth?
they all fall back into space like gravity.
Why does object fall when it goes up?
An object falls back to Earth because of gravity.
Why do meteoroids disintegrate rather than fall to the earth?
Because there small and gravity of the earth pushes which causes it to go back
What is the launch of a rocket?
The launch of a rocket occurs when the engines fire and the thrust produced overcomes the pull of gravity. If thrust exceeds the force necessary to move the payload out of the gravity well of the planetary body from which the rocket was launched, it will pass out of the orbit of the planet. If not, the payload will fall back to the planet on a ballistic path.
Is it possible for earth to fall?
no. gravity causes objects to fall. So unless the sun(earth's source of gravity) moves, then earth will not "drop"
Why does the materials thrown upward during meteorite collisions fall back to the moon's surface?
Our Earth's only Moon enjoys a fraction of the Earth's gravity - there is some gravity there.
Why do meteoroids usually disintegrate rather than fall to earth?
Because there small and gravity of the earth pushes which causes it to go back
Why does a body fall down to the earth?
the earth's gravity
What makes comet to fall on earth?
earth's gravity
