In our solar system, the sun. Planetwise, Jupiter.

Update:

The largest known celestial body is Sloan Great Wall, which is a giant wall of galaxies. The wall measures 1.37 billion light years in length and is located approximately one billion light-years from Earth.

As a single object, the red hypergiant star, VY Canis Majoris, is largest. It is between 1800 to 2100 solar radii (its radius is 1800 to 2100 times larger than Sun) and is located in the constellation Canis Major.

I we are talking about the entire universe as the "sky" - some say the largest "heavenly body" would be VY Canis Majoris, a red hypergiant star, found in the constellation Canis Major It is estimated to be 2100 times that of the size of our Sun. Just search for VY Canis Majoris - there is plenty of literature available on it.

A cluster of quasars (young galaxies with active nuclei) discovered in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey has been measured at 4 billion light years across. This is unusual given the age of the universe since current understanding would limit the size of structures in the universe at about 1.2 billion light years in size.

biggest in reality is Jupiter.
Biggest in apparent size is the moon but its not a valid planet so it would be Venus.

What is the biggest celestial body in volume discovered so far?

That depends on how you define "celestial body". Arguably, the largest "celestial body" thus far discovered (or ever likely to be discovered) is the universe itself. However, let's assume you mean a compact body, i.e. one which is more or less continuous (and thus excludes things like galaxies, globular clusters, and nebulae). The largest star known is VY Canis Majoris, which is roughly the size of the orbit of Saturn. The largest body in the Solar system is, of course, the Sun. Jupiter is second, at about 0.1% the volume of the Sun.
