If you’ve seen little planets next to your friends on Snapchat and wondered what they are, you’re not alone. These planets are part of a cool feature in Snapchat+. They show who your closest friends are based on how much you talk to them.

Let’s break it down in a way that’s super easy to understand.

What Are Snapchat Planets?

Snapchat Planets are part of a special feature called the Friend Solar System. This is only available if you subscribe to Snapchat+. It’s a fun way to show your top friends. Each friend in your Best Friends list gets a planet, like in the real solar system.

The closer the planet is to the Sun (that’s you!), the closer that friend is to you on Snapchat.

The Snapchat Planets in Order (1 to 8)

Here’s a simple list of the Snapchat planets in order and what each one means:

1. Mercury – Your #1 best friend
   • You snap and chat with this person more than anyone else.
2. Venus – Your #2 best friend
   • Lots of messages and Snaps, but not as much as Mercury.
3. Earth – Your #3 best friend
   • You still talk often, just a little less than the top two.
4. Mars – Your #4 best friend
   • Regular chats or Snaps, but not every day.
5. Jupiter – Your #5 best friend
   • You talk sometimes. This friend is still special.
6. Saturn – Your #6 best friend
   • You send fewer Snaps but still stay in touch.
7. Uranus – Your #7 best friend
   • Rare chats, but they’re still on your list.
8. Neptune – Your #8 best friend
   • The last spot in the Best Friends group.

Each planet matches how often you and your friend talk or snap each other. The more you interact, the closer they are to your “sun.”

How to See the Planets

Want to check which planet a friend is?

Here’s how:

1. Subscribe to Snapchat+.
2. Open a chat with your friend.
3. Tap on their Bitmoji (their avatar).
4. Look for the gold badge with a planet around them.

If you see a planet, that means they’re in your Best Friends Solar System.

What Do the Planets Really Mean?

Each planet shows your friend’s rank in your Snapchat+ Best Friends list. It doesn’t show how they feel about you. It’s only about how much you interact with them. You see their place in your system—not the other way around.

For example, if you talk to your friend every day, they might show up as Mercury. If you haven’t talked much lately, they could be Neptune.

It’s all based on:

• How many Snaps you send
• How often you chat
• How much time you spend together on Snapchat

Snapchat+ and the Planets

To get this feature, you need Snapchat+, which is a paid version of the app. Along with planets, you also get:

• Story rewatch counts
• Custom app icons
• Snapchat for Web access
• Chat wallpapers
• And more fun tools!

Final Thoughts

Snapchat planets in order are a fun and easy way to see who your best friends are on the app. They don’t affect your Snap score or streaks. But they do give you a visual way to track who you interact with the most.

If you’re someone who loves using Snapchat to stay connected, and you enjoy fun extras, Snapchat+ might be worth trying—especially for cool features like the Best Friends Solar System.
