Snapchat remains one of the most widely used social media platforms, offering a variety of features to enhance user experience.

Snapchat Plus, a premium service, brings additional customization options such as changing the app icon, seeing who has rewatched your stories, and marking friends as besties.

Its standout feature is the Snapchat Friend Solar System, which designates planets to the friends you most interact with.

In this post, we’ll break down Snapchat Planets, their order, and what they represent. We’ll also show you how to see your friends’ Snapchat Solar System.

Digging Into The Friend Solar System

If you’re familiar with the solar system that we’re in, you know that all the planets orbit the Sun and are spaced at varying distances.

On Snapchat, you play the role of the Sun in your Friend’s Solar System if you use Snapchat Plus.

Your friends are assigned planets based on how frequently you interact with them.

The first Snapchat Planet is Mercury which represents your top friend—the one with whom you have the highest number of streaks or who is your closest friend on Snapchat.

The system continues for the next eight best friends, each receiving a planet according to the frequency of your interactions.

The Order and Significance of Snapchat Planets

The Snapchat Friend Solar System mirrors the order of planets in our actual solar system.

As the Sun of your Snapchat solar system, Mercury represents your closest friend, Venus is for your second closest friend, and this continues up to Neptune, ranked as your eighth bestie.

Here’s a breakdown of each Snapchat planet, including its emoji and meaning:

• Mercury: This is the first planet in your Snapchat solar system and represents your closest friend. It is depicted as a red planet with four red hearts around it.

• Venus: Venus, being the second planet, signifies your second closest friend. It is shown as a light brownish planet with yellow, pink, and blue hearts surrounding it.

• Earth: Earth, the third-ranked planet, represents your third bestie. It features the same colors as the actual Earth, along with a moon, stars, and red hearts around it.

• Mars: Mars, the fourth planet, stands for your fourth friend. It is illustrated as a red planet adorned with stars and purple and blue hearts.

• Jupiter: Jupiter occupies the fifth position and represents your fifth closest friend. It is shown as a reddish-orange planet, has dark stripes that are orange and is surrounded by stars.

•  Saturn: Saturn is ranked as the sixth planet in the Snapchat solar system, representing your sixth nearest friend. It is depicted as an orange-hued planet that has a ring and stars.

• Uranus: Uranus signifies your seventh friend. It is illustrated as a green-colored planet without any hearts.

• Neptune: Neptune stands as the eighth planet and represents the friend who holds the eighth position on your friends list. It is portrayed as a lonely blue planet with no hearts or signs of life.

How Snapchat’s Friend Solar System Works?

To find out which planet you occupy in your friend’s universe, you must be a Snapchat Plus subscriber.

Once subscribed, you will view a “Best Friends” or “Friends” badge highlighted with a gold outline on your friend’s handle.

The Best Friends badge indicates that you are one of the top eight friends of each other, while the Friends badge means you are among their top eight friends, but they don’t occupy a place in the first eight friends on your list.

By selecting either badge, you can view where you’ve been positioned in the Friend Solar System.

The planets represent this, each indicating a spot in their top friends’ list.

For instance, if you are represented as Jupiter, you are their fifth closest friend.

Steps to check which planet you are:

• Open your friend’s Snapchat profile.

• Click the Best Friends badge to view your planet representation.

That’s how Snapchat’s Friend Solar System operates. Remember, accessing this feature requires a Snapchat Plus subscription.
