Orbit A covers X radians.
So B, so C, so D
the ones further out move faster. There's your basic line from the center toward the outside.
Secant lines are harder, cause the speeds of the things have to change..but changing speeds is again, basic rocketry.
Orbital mechanics fail. In a circular orbit, the farther out you are the slower you're going. In order to go faster there would have to be something other than gravity keeping you in your orbit.
Planets will also not neatly line up in lockstep at your whim.
