No.
Satellites can't really be made that large or they won't go into orbit effectively.
The satellite you're probably referring to is the US spy satellite that is being shot down. It is not responding to commands and will not attain the correct orbit. To prevent the military secrets from getting to other countries, the US is going to shoot it down and retrieve the parts.
Another reason for the shoot-down is ostensibly the use of a hazardous substance on board.
Satellites can vary significantly in size, ranging from small CubeSats that are about the size of a shoebox to large satellites that are as big as a school bus. The size of a satellite depends on its specific purpose and the equipment it carries.
It is two times the size of a soccer ball.
Items, be they planets, moons or satellites, stay in orbit because they care carefully balanced between their inertia and the gravity of the primary object. They are freely falling - AROUND the primary.A satellite in low Earth orbit goes about 18,000 miles per hour in a direction tangent, or sideways, to the Earth's surface. Without gravity, it would fly off into space. It is continually falling toward the Earth. But because the satellite is moving sideways, by the time the satellite would have fallen to the ground, the satellite has already missed; it is along in its orbit, still falling, still traveling sideways to the Earth.
A simple pendulum will not swing when it's aboard a satellite in orbit. While in orbit, the satellite and everything in it are falling, which produces a state of apparent zero gravity, and pendula don't swing without gravity.
They do fall. But they're traveling fast enough so that the surface of the Earth falls away from them as fast as they are falling. Same thing that keeps the Earth from falling into the sun.

Because they're moving 'sideways' at more than 6,000 miles per hour, out where the acceleration of gravity is only about 3% of what it is on Earth's surface. The satellite is falling allright, but the Earth's curved surface is falling away exactly as fast as the satellite itself is falling toward it, so the satellite's altitiude above the surface never changes.
The most useful thing to know about a falling satellite is where it is going to strike. That way you can avoid being hit by it.
Yes in the Pacific.
It is a satellite.
The average size of a satellite dish is from 1.5 to 2 yards. Residential satellite dishes are usually smaller, while satellite dishes for commercial use tend to be larger.
It depends on the size of the bus

No, it can't. It will just penetrate the layer.
it depends on the size of the bus your talking about
One the size of a grain of sand.
A satellite is roughly 77km long. However some can be smaller. It depends on their job.
