*moons, planets and asteroids vary greatly in size. So you can have some moons bigger than some planets. Atleast 1 of Saturns moons is bigger then Earth. And asteroids come in all shapes and sizes too.

Note 1: Instances of Comets and Asteroids can be larger than each other. However, the largest Asteroids are larger than the largest comets. Several moons are larger than Mercury, but moons are always smaller than the planet they orbit.
Note 2: Sometimes the term Nebula is used to describe the gas clouds that formed clusters of galaxies. But it is more commonly used to described regions of star formation within a Galaxy.
Note 3: Size of a Universe may not be measurable or have a value that can be properly compared against it's contents. Cosmology also states there may be endless numbers of universes with different properties that might equate to their "size" being microscopic from our point of view.

This is a rough list. It is only rough though because there are probably stars that are bigger than the Solar System and there are certainly some comets that are bigger than some asteroids.
The star Eta Carinae, for example, is so big that, if it was placed in our Solar System, it would extend beyond the orbit of the planet Jupiter. And there is no reason to believe that Eta Carinae is the largest star out there.

Asteroids & Comets are pretty variable in size, I don't know enough to give an opinion.
