This is incorrect.

Capacitance is \$C=\large\epsilon\frac{A}{d}\$, where \$\large\epsilon\$ = the permittivity of the medium (usually vacuum or air, \$\epsilon = 8.85*10^{-12}\$). \$C\$ can also be defined at \$C=\frac{Q}{V}\$, where \$Q\$ is the charge on one plate.

In a parallel plate capacitor, \$A\$ and \$d\$ are clearly obvious. Imagine that \$d\$ increases by separating the plates -- the capacitance decreases.

In the limit, as you separate the plates, the capacitance will not decrease to 0, but to a limiting value - see http://www.vias.org/matsch_capmag/matsch_caps_magnetics_chap2_10.html
