What Are Snapchat Planets and Their Order?
Snapchat has introduced a fun and interactive feature for its Snapchat Plus subscribers called the Friend Solar System. Think of it as your personal galaxy where you are the Sun, and your closest friends are planets orbiting around you. Each planet corresponds to a specific position in your “Best Friends” list, determined by how much you interact with them on the platform.
Here’s a breakdown of how it works:
- Mercury: Represents your #1 best friend, the person you share the most snaps and chats with.
- Venus: Your second closest friend.
- Earth: The third most interactive friend.
- Mars: Fourth on the list.
- Jupiter: Fifth closest friend in your universe.
- Saturn: Sixth closest, symbolized by its iconic rings.
- Uranus: Seventh friend, no hearts here but still important.
- Neptune: The eighth and final planet, representing a distant yet significant connection.
Each planet is visually represented by unique emojis and designs, making it easy to identify their rank in your solar system.
What Do Snapchat Planets Mean?
The planets reflect the level of interaction between you and your friends on Snapchat. The closer a planet is to the Sun (you), the more frequent or meaningful your interactions are with that friend.
For example:
- If someone is Mercury, they’re practically glued to your orbit—they’re your go-to person!
- Neptune? They’re still in your top eight but might not be as active in conversations or snaps compared to others.
How to Check Your Planet Position in Someone Else’s Solar System?
If you’re curious about where you stand in someone else’s universe, here’s what you need to do:
- Open their profile on Snapchat.
- Look for a badge labeled either “Best Friends” or “Friends” with a gold outline.
- Best Friends Badge: You’re both in each other’s top eight lists.
- Friends Badge: You’re in their top eight, but they’re not in yours.
- Tap the badge to reveal which planet you represent in their solar system.
This feature adds a playful twist to friendships on Snapchat while giving users insight into their social dynamics.
