I would say that complex numbers can be compared almost as easily as natural numbers.
Complex numbers consist of a real part and an imaginary part.
Often written a+bi - i being the imaginary unit.
If 'b' in the above equation is zero, then bi = 0.Then we don't have a imaginary part and the number is real.
If 8 is greater than 5, then we could say that 8+8i is greater than 5+5i for both the real and the imaginary part.

Rational and irrational numbers are real numbers. A complex number is represented by a+bi where a and b are real numbers. Zero is a real number therefore any real number is also complex whenever b=0
Complex numbers are numbers of the a + bi where a and b are real number and i is the imaginary square root of -1.
An imaginary number has the form b*i, where b is any real number, and i is the imaginary unit number sqrt(-1). A complex number is in the form a + b*i, where a and b are any real number. Complex numbers are called complex, because they combine numbers from the real domain and the imaginary domain.I thought the Wikipedia article was very good. Also, Answers.com has a video about complex and imaginary numbers.
A complex number is any number that can be represented in the form of a+bi, the real numbers are a and b, the imaginary number is i. Complex numbers are used in scientific and engineering fields.
Yes, imaginary numbers are a subset of complex numbers.
