The reason satellites don’t fall from the sky is because they are orbiting Earth. Even though the satellites are thousands of miles away, Earths gravity still tugs on them. Gravity combined with the satellite's momentum from its launch into space, cause the satellite to go into orbit above Earth instead of falling back down to the ground.
P.S sorry if this isn’t the answer you were looking for have a good day
