What Is the Snapchat Solar System?
The Snapchat Solar System is a Snapchat+ exclusive feature that visualizes your closest friends as planets orbiting a sun. Each planet represents a different rank among your 8 best friends, with the distance from the sun indicating how close you are to that friend. Mercury is your #1 best friend, and Neptune is your #8 best friend.
Complete Planet Order and Meanings
Mercury — #1
Your #1 Best Friend — the person you interact with the most on Snapchat.
Mercury is closest to the sun, just like your #1 best friend is closest to you. You send the most snaps and have the longest streak with this person.
Venus — #2
Your #2 Best Friend — very close, almost as much as Mercury.
Venus is the second planet from the sun. Your Venus best friend is someone you interact with almost daily but slightly less than your Mercury.
Earth — #3
Your #3 Best Friend — solid, consistent interactions.
Earth is the third planet. Your Earth best friend maintains steady engagement with you through regular snaps and chats.
Mars — #4
Your #4 Best Friend — frequent but not daily.
Mars is the fourth planet. You interact with this friend several times a week but not as intensely as your top 3.
Jupiter — #5
Your #5 Best Friend — good friend with occasional interaction.
Jupiter is the fifth planet and the largest in the solar system. This friend is in your regular rotation but not a daily conversation.
Saturn — #6
Your #6 Best Friend — intermittent but still significant.
Saturn is the sixth planet with its iconic rings. Your Saturn friend appears in your interactions periodically with meaningful exchanges.
Uranus — #7
Your #7 Best Friend — you engage but not regularly.
Uranus is the seventh planet. This friend is in your top 8 but your interactions are less frequent than your closer planetary friends.
Neptune — #8
Your #8 Best Friend — the farthest planet in your system.
Neptune is the eighth and farthest planet from the sun. This is the outermost edge of your Snapchat social solar system — you still interact but less often.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Snapchat planets order?
The Snapchat planets order from closest to farthest from the sun (best friend ranking): Mercury (#1 best friend), Venus (#2), Earth (#3), Mars (#4), Jupiter (#5), Saturn (#6), Uranus (#7), Neptune (#8). Mercury is your best friend, Neptune is your 8th best friend.
Do I need Snapchat+ to see the planets?
Yes — the Snapchat Solar System feature requires a Snapchat+ subscription. Open a friend's profile, tap their Best Friends badge (the gold ring around their Bitmoji), and you will see which planet they are in your solar system. Without Snapchat+, this feature is not available.
How does Snapchat determine planet positions?
Snapchat ranks your 8 best friends based on who you interact with most — snaps sent and received, chats, and other engagement signals. The ranking updates weekly. Your #1 best friend is Mercury (closest to the sun), and it goes outward to Neptune for #8.
How much does Snapchat+ cost in 2026?
Snapchat+ costs $3.99/month, $21.99/6 months, or $39.99/year as of 2026. Prices may vary slightly by region. Snapchat+ also includes other exclusive features like custom app icons, story rewatch indicators, and pinned best friends.
Can other people see my Snapchat planets?
Yes — the Solar System feature is mutual. If you are someone's Mercury, they will show as Mercury on your profile too. You both need Snapchat+ to see it. If either person cancels their subscription, the feature disappears for both.
