Satellites orbiting the earth have a finite life and sometimes debris of satellites fall to the earth. This is because:
 

1. the solar cells and batteries in satellites run out.
2. the l2. of gravitation predict a trajectory spiralling inwards.awst
3. of viscous forces causing the speed of the satellite and hence height to gradually decrease.
4. of collisions with other satellites.
