The giant theory tells how the Earth once rotated so fast that its parts fell off, from which its satellite was formed. The speed of rotation and the distance are related by a quantity we call the angular momentum. According to the law of conservation, the speed of rotation is constant, so the distance of its parts, ie satellites, is constant. It is a fact that holds the Earth and the Moon together.
