Geosynchronous orbits. Youre welcome.
You might as well have said "Aliens" if you weren't going to answer the question.

Dumb question: How do they not bump into each other? Are they all orbiting at same speed?
Did that old man bust you in the head with those 10lb dumbbells at the gym yesterday?

How satellites stay in orbit is a multidisciplinary one that involves a great of technical and academic knowledge.

good clear night the kids and I see how many we can count. I like the Iridium fare sats you can see right before dark. Even the flaring ones at night are pretty cool. Really bright flash from nowhere and then gone. Like a quick welders arc then gone.

Thanks for the sound responses unlike our those from our idiot "friend" mizzoukills up there.
Well it was kind of a dumb question.

Not really.
Just a basic understanding of planetary motion and skill at spatial thinking.
You don't have to sit down and do the math in order to understand how it happens.
If you are seriously interested in toying around with it, pick up Kerbal Space Program.
It's a fun game/simulator.

You should check out the "If the moon was the size of a pixel" thread. There's a lot of space in space.
