This is a picture of a can of coke on the edge of my dresser. How is it not falling off? The reason for this is the location of the center of gravity of the coke bottle. If we move downwards from the center of gravity, there is enough a support base to support the object and keep it from falling. If the can was moved further to the right, there would be no support under the can and it would fall off the table. Having some kind of support under the center of gravity is crucial in keeping an object balanced.
