For example let's a satellite was orbiting the moon which has no atmosphere. If the moon suddenly started spinning twice as fast would it effect the satellite's orbit even though the satellite is separated by the vacuum of space from the moon?
Easier way to put it, if the Earth suddenly spun 1000 times as fast, would the moon float away? I know that things on the planet may be thrown off due to centrifugal force, but would the Earth's gravitational pull become weaker?
