A car’s engine only has a particular range of speeds that it can properly run at. Too slow and it’ll stall. Too fast and it’ll blow itself apart.

The gears on a car follow the same principle as the gears on a bicycle, though they’re more complicated. The principle is to use bigger or smaller gears so that no matter what speed you’re making the car move, its engine is able to stay within its happy little range.
