Rotate objects around the specific CSS axis

Question

I would like to know how to rotate an object (div) around the axis of another object (another div). My problem is the following: I have a larger circle and 5 smaller circles located at the bottom of them, each circle is a div.

I need that when clicking on any of the 5 smaller circles, the same goes to the position where the 3 is in the largest circle, from left to right. Example of rotation when clicking on 4:

I need this done only in CSS, but in case of impracticability, the solution could be made in js if it is not too extensive, thank you!

Hello! I consulted this question elsewhere and it gave me a light. I made some changes to the code and came with the following reply which seems to be very close to your request:

.circle {
  height: 50vh;
  width: 50vh;
  border-radius: 100%;
  border: solid 1px;
  margin: 25vh auto;
  position: relative;
}

.rotate {
  height: 60%;
  position: absolute;
  top: 50%;
  left: 50%;
  width: 10vh;
  margin-left: -5vh;
  display: flex;
  align-items: flex-end;
}

.rotate div {
  border-radius: 100%;
  border: solid 1px;
  height: 10vh;
  width: 10vh;
  display: flex;
  align-items: center;
  justify-content: center;
  background: #0095FF;
}

#a,
#a div,
#b,
#b div,
#c,
#c div,
#d,
#d div,
#e,
#e div {
  transition: 1s;
}

#a,
#b,
#c,
#d,
#e {
  transform-origin: 5vh 0;
}

#a {
  z-index: 1;
}

label {
  cursor: pointer
}
