Snapchat’s “Friend Solar System” is a fun and interactive feature available to Snapchat+ subscribers that uses planets to show how close you are to your friends. Inspired by our real solar system, this feature ranks your top friends based on how much you interact with them. The closer the “planet,” the more frequent and meaningful your interaction is with that person.
So, what’s the Snapchat Planets order and what does each one mean? Let’s break it down.

The Sun — You!

In this feature, you are the sun — the center of the social solar system. The planets represent your top eight friends, orbiting around you based on how close your Snapchat relationship is with them.

The Planets in Order (Closest to Farthest)

1. Mercury – Your #1 best friend on Snapchat. You snap and chat with this person the most. Expect vibrant hearts and stars when this planet shows up.
   
2. Venus – Your second closest friend. You’re still quite close, but not as much as Mercury. This shows you communicate frequently.
   
3. Earth – Your third closest friend. You likely share streaks and snaps often, just not as much as Venus or Mercury.
   
4. Mars – Fourth on your list. Interactions are regular, though maybe not daily.
   
5. Jupiter – Fifth place. You still connect, but interactions are more spaced out.
   
6. Saturn – Sixth friend. Your connection is occasional — not too close, but still meaningful enough to be in your top eight.
   
7. Uranus – Seventh friend. This is someone you might engage with on rare occasions.
   
8. Neptune – Eighth and final friend in the Snapchat solar system. This is a low-interaction friend who still makes it into your inner circle, though barely.
   

Each planet also has a unique design — often with hearts, sparkles, or other effects — that reflect how strong or emotional your connection might be with that person.

How to See Snapchat Planets

To access the feature:

1. Subscribe to Snapchat+.
   
2. Go to your friend’s profile (someone in your top eight).
   
3. Tap the Friend Solar System badge (a gold ring with planets).
   
4. You’ll see which planet they are in your solar system.
   

If a friend is Mercury, they’re your top friend. If they’re Neptune, they’re your eighth.

Final Thoughts

Snapchat Planets is a creative and visual way to showcase your friend rankings. It adds a playful twist to the traditional “Best Friends” list and gives Snapchat+ users a more exclusive and personal social experience. It’s not just about snapping the most, but about who you connect with regularly and meaningfully.

Remember: The order may change based on your snapping habits. If you suddenly start chatting more with someone new, they could rise up in your planetary lineup.
