Answer 1

What you will need is a position: relative; container with child elements positioned absolute

Demo

Demo 2 (Using transform)

Explanation: What am doing here is using position: relative; on the parent element which is .ball_wrap, than am using position: absolute; for the child elements AS WELL AS the :after pseudo elements to connect the child elements with the parent. If you are not aware of the pseudo elements than take them as a virtual element, these elements do not exist literally in the DOM but they do render graphically. So am using display: block; as they are inline by default..along with content: "";... Rest, set them accordingly using top, right, bottom and left properties.

.ball_wrap {
    position: relative;
    margin: 150px;
    width: 90px;
}

.green_ball {
    background: #00C762;
    height: 50px;
    width: 50px;
    border-radius: 50%;
    border: 3px solid #ccc;
    position: absolute;
}

.blue_ball {
    background: #2F9BC1;
    height: 80px;
    width: 80px;
    border-radius: 50%;
    border: 3px solid #ccc;
}

.ball_wrap div:nth-of-type(2) {
    top: 20px;
    left: -100px;
}

.ball_wrap div:nth-of-type(2):after {
    content: "";
    display: block;
    border-bottom: 1px solid #000;
    position: absolute;
    width: 50px;
    right: -50px;
    top: 50%;
}

.ball_wrap div:nth-of-type(3) {
    top: 20px;
    right: -100px;
}

.ball_wrap div:nth-of-type(3):after {
    content: "";
    display: block;
    border-bottom: 1px solid #000;
    position: absolute;
    width: 50px;
    left: -52px;
    top: 50%;
}

.ball_wrap div:nth-of-type(4) {
    right: 20px;
    bottom: -100px;
}

.ball_wrap div:nth-of-type(4):after {
    content: "";
    display: block;
    border-left: 1px solid #000;
    position: absolute;
    height: 50px;
    left: 50%;
    top: -52px;
}
