Orbits within the atmosphere are not stable due to atmospheric friction. Friction slows (and heats) the satellite, dropping its orbit still lower (where there's more friction, therefore more slowing and heating). Eventually the satellite burns up. This is essentially what happened to Skylab and more recently to Mir.

Why is it important for satellites to be outside the earths atmosphere?
Satellites need to be out of the earth's atmosphere or the gravity would make them fall to the ground. In space, the satellites are also able to orbit the earth effortlessly because they have less weight.

Where are earths layers located?

What portion of earths atmosphere are satellites located?
Satellites are primarily located in the thermosphere, which is part of Earth's atmosphere, extending from about 80 kilometers (50 miles) above the surface to around 600 kilometers (373 miles) or more. This region includes low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites, which typically operate at altitudes between 160 to 2,000 kilometers (100 to 1,200 miles). Higher orbits, like geostationary orbit, are situated around 35,786 kilometers (22,236 miles) above Earth, well above the atmosphere's significant influence.
Where is the most of the earths carbon located?

What gas has made up the largest portion of earths atmosphere for most of earths history?
Nitrogen has made up the largest portion of Earth's atmosphere for most of Earth's history. It currently makes up about 78% of the atmosphere.
In which portion of the Earths atmosphere is the satellite located at 75km away from earth?
Troposphere
Can microwave rays get through the earths atmosphere?
Microwave rays can pass through the Earth's atmosphere, as they are a form of electromagnetic radiation that is not absorbed or blocked by gases in the atmosphere. This is why microwave communication systems like satellites are able to transmit signals through the atmosphere.
What interferes with earths satellites?
