Yes, it is larger, the smaller the gauge the larger the bore i.e. 3 gauge is larger in diameter than a 8 gauge or a 12 gauge.
What is larger 12 gauge wire or 20 gauge wire?
Yes, a #12 AWG conductor has a greater diameter than a #14 AWG conductor. A #12 conductor has an ampacity of 20 amps whereas a #14 conductor only has an ampacity of 15 amps.
How big of a single pole breaker can you put on 12-2 wire?
In general, you should never use a breaker larger than 20 Amps on a #12 AWG (American Wire Gauge) copper wire.

What is thicker 10 gauge or 12 gauge?
You could be referring to anything from shotguns to steel plate, but I'll take a wild guess you are referring to wire gauge. 10 gauge wire is thicker than 12 gauge. If you were referring to something other than wire, write again and tell us what you are referring to.
Which is larger 12 gauge or 20 gauge?
12
Can you 14 gauge wire from the panel box to 12 gauge wire to the light?
no

Can you connect a 8 gauge wire directly to a 10 or 12 gauge wire The appliance only requires 10 and 12 gauge but there is already 8 gauge running half way?
Yes you can. 8 ga. is better and more efficient than 12 ga. It will only benifit your install
Which gauge wire is a 12v?
The gauge of wire that is 12 volt is 18, 14, and 16.
