C = ε_{r} ε_{0} \frac{A}{d}

$C = epsilon_r epsilon_0 "A" / "d"$

A

d

ε_{r}

$epsilon_r$

A - the area of each plate
d - the distance between the plates
$ε_{r}$ $epsilon_r$ - The Dielectric Constant, a.k.a. Relative Permittivity, of the material between the shells. For more info, click here.

For some common dielectric constants, please see this Dielectric Constant lookup equation.
