A Basilica is indeed bigger than a Cathedral. The Rank goes: Church, Cathedral, and finally Basilica. The Vatican is a Basilica.
A Cathedral is a Christian Church that contains the seat of a Bishop. A Parish church that was formerly a Cathedral is known as 'Proto Cathedral'. A Parish church temporarily serving as a Cathedral is known as a 'Pro Cathedral' The removal of a Bishops seat from a Cathedral deprives that church of its Cathedral status. So, a Bishop placing his seat in a Church can elevate the Church to Cathedral status
A cathedral is a church which is the seat of a bishop; the word "cathedral" comes from the Latin for "chair" - cathedra. So it is generally up to the church authorities when to make a church a cathedral.
A cathedral is the name of the principle church of the diocese. This is a very large church that is of great importance.
