Best Answer

The answer can be yes or no.

YES

Carbon has an atomic number of 6, and the vast, vast majority of atoms in the universe are Hydrogen (Atomic Number 1), or Helium (AN = 2). So compared to all other atoms in the universe.. yes carbon is large.

NO

Carbon has an atomic number of 6 and in the Periodic Table there are elements going up to 118. So Carbon is pretty low down compared to all other types of atoms.
