Gravity pulls the satellites but the orbiting satellites don't fall down towards earth because the speed with which they move balances the gravitational force i.e. Centripetal force = Gravitational force.
There are over 2,200 artificial satellites currently orbiting the Earth.
The force that acts to pull natural and artificial satellites towards Earth is gravity. Gravity is the mutual force of attraction between two objects with mass, where the larger the mass of an object, the stronger its gravitational pull. This force keeps satellites in orbit around Earth.
The five major types of artificial satellites are: research, communications, weather, navigational, and applications. Please see the related links.
There are many different types of artificial satellites launched into orbit, such as communication satellites for transmitting signals, weather satellites for monitoring Earth's weather systems, navigation satellites for providing GPS services, and scientific research satellites for studying various aspects of space and our planet. Military satellites are also used for reconnaissance and surveillance purposes.
Gravity.
Satellites of the Earth are held in their orbits by the Earth's gravity. That includes the Moon and all the artificial satellites etc. that are up there.
All the satellites, communications, exploratory, military etc. are artificial satellites of Earth.

Earth has one natural satellite and more than a thousand artificial satellites.
Natural satellites are organic objects that orbit the earth such as the moon. Artificial satellites are objects humans propel through the earth's atmosphere in order to orbit the earth such as satellites for TV and radio signals.

Gravity.
No, the Sun does not have Earth's gravity; rather, it has its own gravitational pull, which is much stronger due to its larger mass. The Sun's gravity is what keeps the Earth and other planets in orbit around it. Earth's gravity, on the other hand, is what keeps objects on its surface and influences the orbits of its moons and artificial satellites.
