This was a Standard Weight tank and was painted white Debris from Salyut 7, which landed in Argentina in 1991. This is a list of artificial objects reentering Earth's atmosphere by mass (see space debris). Such objects are often completely destroyed by reentry heating, but large enough objects or components can survive.
Wow, that is fast. Including only "more-or-less intact" objects could create problems in trying to judge between different degrees of destruction. For example, according to this even Ranger 4 (included at List of artificial objects on the Moon) impacted at 9,617 km/h. Whether that's fast enough to vapourise much of the probe I don't know, but ...
The largest object in the asteroid belt, the dwarf planet Ceres, is an icy body that measures 592 miles across. About 25% of its mass, NASA estimates , is made up of water.
This article includes a list of the most massive known objects of the Solar System and partial lists of smaller objects by observed mean radius. These lists can be sorted according to an object's radius and mass and, for the most massive objects, volume, density, and surface gravity, if these values are available.
