That is a good question. It hangs on nothing:
Job 26:6-8 (King James Version)
6Hell is naked before him, and destruction hath no covering.
7He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, and hangeth the earth upon nothing.
8He bindeth up the waters in his thick clouds; and the cloud is not rent under them.

Low Earth orbit is the path any object, like a Soyuz or ISS, follows when it is above the atmosphere and going fast enough. One explanation is that centrifugal force balances gravity. A better explanation is that the Soyuz is always trying to fall back to Earth but it keeps missing the ground because of its high speed. Basically, the ground is curving away as fast as it falls. This is the "Newton's cannon" explanation.
