Which satellite are you referring to ? Satellites stay in orbit because the force trying to 'throw them out into space' is counter-balanced by the gravitational pull of the earth. Those that are revolving round the planet (as opposed to geostationary ones) do so, because they were set in a side-ways motion when they were launched.
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.
Gravity, you idiot!
Earth revolves around the sun due to gravitational attraction between the two bodies. The sun's gravitational pull keeps Earth in its orbit, causing it to move in a circular path around the sun. This revolution, combined with Earth's rotation on its axis, creates day and night cycles.
A satellite stays in orbit due to a balance between its forward motion and the gravitational pull of the Earth. The velocity of the satellite allows it to continuously fall towards the Earth but also keeps missing it, causing it to remain in orbit. If there were no gravitational pull, the satellite would fly off into space.
A satellite stays in orbit due to a balance between its forward speed and the gravitational pull of the Earth. The satellite's speed allows it to constantly fall towards Earth, but its forward motion keeps it moving horizontally enough to avoid collision. This results in a stable orbit around the planet.
NO. The gravity of Earth, in conjunction with the inertia of the satellite, keeps the satellite revolving around Earth. However, the satellite doesn't get any nearer to the Earth. So, according to the laws of physics, no work is done. (I'm ignoring the fact that satellites sometimes lose height and need to be "boosted" a bit to maintain their orbits. Also, I'm assuming that the satellite's orbit is circular. If the orbit is elliptical the answer is more or less the same, but a bit more complicated.)
The mutual forces of gravitational attraction between each pair of bodies.
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.
Gravity.

because of the earths gravitational pull
There is only one main force acting on a satellite when it is in orbit, and that is the gravitational force.
Then it would fall into the Sun. It is the Earth's movement (of about 30 km/second) that keeps it from falling INTO the Sun.
Gravity, you idiot!
Centripetal force is what keeps a satellite in orbit around a celestial body, like Earth. This force is due to the gravitational attraction between the satellite and the celestial body. Electrical forces play a role in satellite communication and operation, but they are not directly responsible for keeping the satellite in orbit.

the gravitational force of earth keeps the satellite(better write artificial satellite)in orbit.
