@Lee_D237 appreciable is less commonly used, I think it is used more in medical documents perhaps?
“A substantial meal” (you could not naturally use any of the other adjectives here)
“There was substantial evidence to take the suspect to court” “there were substantial supplies to give everyone in the group a generous share” (here, substantial means ‘enough’)
I think “substantial” is more for physical objects, but “significant” can be used for physical AND mental things eg. “He was in significant distress”
Considerable can also be used in lots of contexts, “the car had suffered (considerable/significant) damage” “she was (considerably/significantly) upset” “there was a (considerable/significant) amount of money”

They all just kind of mean “quite a lot”

Considerable describe a "large amount" of something.
ex : she has a considerable amount of experience in this field.

Significant describe a " meaningful amount". Usually, it means that the difference with something else is huge. It has a big impact.
ex: the new policy has a significant impact on the company.

Substantial means a " solid amount".
ex: The company has invested a substantial amount of money in Research&Development.


Hope this can help you :)

@berry__
Can "substantial" be use with non-physical objects
E.g We were able to see a substantial improvement.

“A substantial meal” (you could not naturally use any of the other adjectives here)
It isn't not a large meal?

@Lee_D237 “we were able to se a substantial improvement” sounds correct! So I think you’re right, to me it’s just very contextual, I know when it’s right or wrong once I hear it.
Also yes, it would be a somewhat large meal is it was a “substantial meal”. You can probably get away with using most of these words interchangeably, and even if it sounds slightly unnatural it’s not too much of a big problem
