What is the biggest planet in our galaxy?

Answer 1

There is no definite answer to this question. We've found planets bigger than Jupiter.

Astronomers have discovered planets more massive than Jupiter, which was once thought to be the largest planet; the explanation could be a brown dwarf (neither a planet nor a star). There are 100 billion planets in our galaxy alone, and we have found more than a thousand of them since finding planets is a very difficult job.
