I always wonder that internet is basically to the core connected computers/network etc.. but how does satellite internet work? Do they have some towers on earth that send signal to satellites?

“Normal” internet is a wire run to your house. Information goes from your computer to the ISP.
With satellite internet, information goes from you to a satellite, then from the satellite to the ISP. Then everything from that point onwards is the same.
Because of the extra steps involved, satellite internet has more lag than wired internet. The advantage is that you can get satellite internet in places where there *is no wire to run to your house* (usually because no ISP has deemed it worthwhile to extend their infrastructure to your area).
