Snapchat has a planet system for sorting your best friends, and we’ll explain how it works.
We’re going to explain how the Friends Solar System works on Snapchat, a feature for Snapchat+ subscribers. With it, you’ll see a badge on your best friends’ profiles, and when you tap on it, each of these people will be assigned a planet.
Let’s start by explaining exactly how this trait works, what it means, and how many friendships can be considered best. Then, we’ll tell you what order the Snapchat planets have, what this order means, and why each person is assigned a planet.
What isSnapchat’sSolar System?
Snapchat’s Solar System is part of the “Unique Friendships” feature within Snapchat Plus (a premium subscription service). This feature categorizes your closest friends using planets in the solar system.
Basically, each friend is assigned a planet based on the interaction and connection level you have with them within the respective app. It’s important to mention that to use this feature, you must have a Snapchat Plus subscription, and both you and your friend must have it activated.
What is the order of the planets?
There are 8 planets to divide among your 8 best friends. These are the actual planets of the Solar System, and the closer this actual planet is to the sun, the higher this friend will rank on the best friend list. So, it’s also a way for you to learn about the planets.
This is the list of planets and their order. Remember that in this visualization, you are the sun, followed by the rest of the planets. We’ll tell you the order, so number 1 is the closest and your closest friend.
Mercury
In the Snap solar system, Mercury is theclosest planet to the sun, meaning it represents the friend who interacts with you the most on Snapchat. You’re also the one who interacts with them the most on the social network.
Your first best friend Snap planet is recognizable by its pink color on which you will find red hearts.

Venus, on the other hand, represents your second best friend planet Snap. It’s a sandy planet on which you’ll seepink, yellow, and blue hearts.
