In which region of atmosphere satellites orbit around earth?

More than half of the satellites in orbit about the Earth are within the atmosphere.

The two regions of the atmosphere in which satellites commonly orbit are
the thermosphereand the exosphere.

The thermosphere starts at around 90 km (56 miles). The boundary between the
thermosphere and exosphere varies, depending on solar activity. It can be as low as 500 km
(310 miles) and as high as 1000 km (620 miles). The exosphere extends to about 10,ooo km
(6200 miles).

The ISS orbits within the thermosphere. No human has gone outside the thermosphere since
the Apollo moon missions.

Most weather and science satellites are within the atmosphere. Geosynchronous and
geostationary satellites are outside the atmosphere.

Since the launch of Sputnik in the 1950s, thousands of satellites have been put into orbit
around the Earth and even other planets. Each has served a different purpose, from complex
space stations like the International Space Station to the Global Positioning System. Most
satellites can be considered to be "in space", but in terms of the Earth's atmosphere, they
reside in either the thermosphere or the exosphere. The layer through which a satellite orbits
depends on what the satellite is used for and what kind of orbit it has.
THERMOSPHERE
The thermosphere is a region of very high temperature that extends from the top of the
mesosphere at around 85 kilometers up to 640 kilometers above the Earth's surface. It is
called the thermosphere because temperatures can reach up to 1500 degrees Celsius.
However, despite the high temperatures, the pressure is too low for objects in this layer to
overheat from exposure.
EXOSPHERE
Above the thermosphere is a final layer called the exosphere, which extends up to 10,000
kilometers, or 6,200 miles, above the Earth, depending on how it is defined. Some definitions
of the exosphere include all space up until the point where atoms are no longer
gravitationally bound to the Earth and get knocked away by solar wind. The upper boundary is
difficult to define since the exosphere has no pressure and molecules float freely on ballistic
trajectories. Eventually, the exosphere gives way to space outside of the Earth's influence.
LOW EARTH ORBIT
Low Earth Orbit, or LEO, is the lowest orbit in use by satellites and includes any orbit below
2,000 kilometers. Satellites at this altitude circle the Earth very quickly and their orbits
degrade faster, which means they will eventually fall back to Earth if not kept up by
thrusters. The International Space Station is in LEO and most satellites in LEO fly through the
thermosphere, though those at the upper limit of LEO reach into the exosphere. Scientific
research satellites are typically put into LEO so they can more closely monitor some type of
activity on Earth.
MID AND HIGH EARTH ORBIT
Satellites above LEO are all orbiting through the exosphere and can maintain their orbits for
decades without adjustment. Weather and communication satellites are found in higher orbits
because they need longer views of a given area of the planet to either carry transmissions or
record data. At the top of High Earth Orbit is geosynchronous orbit. Any satellite here will
have an orbital period the same as the Earth's. A special version of the geosynchronous orbit is
the geostationary orbit, which is the same but is along the equator. This keeps the satellite at
the same point in the sky throughout the entire orbit.
