Let \(G\) be a semisimple algebraic group defined on \({\mathbb{R}}\), and assume that the Weyl group of \(G\) contains \(-1\). The author shows that there is a one-to-one correspondence between the set of stable orbits on the group \(G_{\mathbb{R}}\) of real elements of \(G\) and the set of stable orbits of the symmetric space \(G_{\mathbb{C}}/G_{\mathbb{R}}\). A stable orbit of some element \(x\) in \(G_{\mathbb{R}}\) (resp. \(G_{\mathbb{C}}/G_{\mathbb{R}}\)) is given by the set \(\{gxg^{-1}\mid g \in G\}\) intersected with \(G_{\mathbb{R}}\) (resp. \(G_{\mathbb{C}}/G_{\mathbb{R}}\)). This correspondence interchanges stable invariant distributions and stable orbit functions on \(G_{\mathbb{R}}\) and \(G_{\mathbb{C}}/G_{\mathbb{R}}\). As an application, the author shows that the inversion formula for orbital integrals on \(G_{\mathbb{R}}\) implies the Plancherel formula of \(G_{\mathbb{C}}/G_{\mathbb{R}}\).
