Kinda-sorta. If you have two wheels of different size, but both spinning at the same rate - then the circumference of the bigger wheel will be going faster than the circumference of the smaller wheel.
But at the same time the bigger wheel will be heavier to turn, so it will take more power to keep it spinning. If you haven't got that extra power there's no speed to be gained.

In general, no.
Jeremy Whitherspoon (Can) thighs are 70 cm in circumference each
Orbital speed = (circumference of the orbit) / (period of revolution)
That will obviously depend on the speed. Assume some convenient speed, then divide the circumference (which is about 40,000 kilometers) by that speed. If the circumference is in kilometers, and the speed in kilometers/hour, the time will be in hours.
The wheel size does affect its speed.
It has no direct affect on the speed of an object. It does affect the energy content of the speeding object.
A "speed" sensor can affect the shifting of the trans.A "speed" sensor can affect the shifting of the trans.
Distance and time do not, in general, affect the speed. Speed, however, can affect distance or time. Distance is directly proportional to speed, time is inversely proportional.
the brakes affect the speed
The circumference of a pulley is the distance around the outside edge of the pulley. It is calculated by using the formula C = πd, where C is the circumference and d is the diameter of the pulley. The circumference is important when determining the speed and distance traveled by a belt or rope running around the pulley.
That depends on the speed. The circumference of the Earth is 40,000 km. Decide on a speed, then divide this distance by the speed. If the speed is in km/hour, the time will be in hours.
