The Sun is the largest. Jupiter is the next biggest object in the solar system. Then again, if you want to get really technical, the largest thing in the solar system BY FAR would be Jupiter's magnetosphere, which extends a radius of several million miles and nearly reaches Saturn's orbit.ars has the largest volcano in the solar system.
