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

Why is the moon is the biggest celestial object that you see from the earth?
The moon is the biggest celestial object that you see from the earth because it is near the earth.At some times (for very short intervals), meteoroids enter the Earth's atmosphere and become meteors. At the second just before hitting the atmosphere, they are still "celestial objects" and are darn close to us. But their "status" does not last very long. By the time you point and shout "Closest celestial body!", it ain't any more. The word "meteor" comes from a Greek word relating to the atmosphere (e.g., check the root of meteorology). So, once a meteoroid becomes a meteor, it is no longer a "celestial body".
