air resistance
jkkkkkkkk
Air resistance is the primary force that would cause a satellite to descend low enough to burn up in Earth's atmosphere. As a satellite orbits, it experiences centripetal force that keeps it in orbit, but if it loses altitude due to drag from air resistance, the friction generated at lower altitudes can lead to increased heating and ultimately result in the satellite burning up. Gravitational force also plays a role, but it typically keeps the satellite in orbit rather than causing it to descend.
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.
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.

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.

the satellite was 1500 feet above the atmosphere of earth
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.

The space dust usually first enters Earth's atmosphere in the thermosphere, where the friction from the air slows it down. As it continues to descend, it passes through the mesosphere before reaching the lower layers where it can settle on the Earth's surface.
Sputnik was the first satellite launched outside of Earth's atmosphere. It was launched by the Russians.
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.
