In order from largest to smallest these terms are:UniverseGalaxySolar systemStarPlanetMoonAsteroidWe can generally say that a Moon is larger than an asteroid however some moons are quite large while others are smaller than many known asteroids. Asteroids are small rocky bodies that orbit the Sun, while moons are objects that orbit planets. Jupiter and Saturn have attracted many objects out of the asteroid belt and gathered them as moons.
