1. How big is it?

This is a question, because subject and verb are inverted. So you need a question mark at the end.

2. How big it is

Henry74Sorry 5jdj for the cross-posting.
No apology necessary. It happens. In any case, you added a useful point that I had not mentioned.

The first is a question that you would ask if you want to know how big something is. The second is an exclamation that you'd say after you see the item and notice how big it is. For example:

A: How big is it?

B: I'll show you.

A: Wow. How big it is!
