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.
What else can I help you with?
Does sun revolve around any celestial body?
No sun doesn't revolve to any celestial body, but the celestial body revolve around the sun.
What is a small celestial body that orbits another celestial body other than the sun?
satellite
How do you define a celestial body?
A celestial body is any physical body beyond the earth's atmosphere.
Why is the moon called the moon instead of a planet?
The Moon is called the Moon because it is Earth's natural satellite. Planets are celestial bodies that orbit a star (like the Sun) directly and are not classified as satellites of another celestial body.
Which celestial body is the farthest from the earth?
pluto
What is the volume of a celestial body that has a diameter of 1880km?
Volume = 4/3*pi*9403 = 3479142123 cubic km
When was celestial body discovered?
Celestial body is only a general name for an object in the sky, particlarly applied to the night sky (but including the Sun). The moon, stars, planets, etc., are considered celestial bodies. Most of them were identified by the ancients; in modern times the more distant planets from Earth were discovered by use of more powerful telescopes.
Why does the Sun keep all of the planets orbiting?
As the sun is the biggest celestial body in our solar system, so it has the most gravitational pull and therefore the planets n other celestial bodies revolve around the sun.
Does sun revolve around any celestial body?
No sun doesn't revolve to any celestial body, but the celestial body revolve around the sun.
What is the minimum mass or volume requirement for an object to be classified as a natural satellite?
There is no minimum mass or volume requirements for an object to be classified as a natural satellite. For this classification to happen, a body must orbit around a planet or other celestial body.
Who discovered that the Weight of a body in water is equal to the volume of water displaced?
Greek scholar Archimedes
What is a small celestial body that orbits another celestial body other than the sun?
satellite
What is the nearest celestial neighbor?
The moonMoon is the closet celestial body.
How can one derive the escape velocity of an object from a celestial body?
To derive the escape velocity of an object from a celestial body, you can use the formula: escape velocity (2 gravitational constant mass of celestial body / distance from the center of the celestial body). This formula takes into account the gravitational pull of the celestial body and the distance of the object from its center. By calculating this value, you can determine the minimum velocity needed for an object to escape the gravitational pull of the celestial body.
What is the name of the largest known celestial body belonging to the Solar system that lies beyond the orbit of Pluto?
The largest known celestial body beyond the orbit of Pluto in our Solar System is Eris. It is a dwarf planet that was discovered in 2005 and is even more massive than Pluto.
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".
How do you define a celestial body?
A celestial body is any physical body beyond the earth's atmosphere.
