What celestial body is the largest in actual size?

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.


How big can a constellation get?

Constellations can vary in size, with some covering a larger portion of the sky than others. The largest constellation, Hydra, occupies a significant portion of the southern celestial hemisphere and is the largest in terms of area. However, the size of a constellation is not fixed and can be subjective based on the way individual stars are connected to form the shape.

Both the Earth and the Moon have craters, which are depressions on the surface formed by impacts from asteroids or meteoroids. These craters can vary in size and shape, and can provide valuable information about the history of impacts on both celestial bodies.


How do you place the planets in order largest to smallest in terms of their size?

Largest and smallest are both size descriptors so you have to look at their size before putting them in the order of largest to smallest. It's the only way to do it.


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.
