Snapchat remains one of the most popular social apps among Gen Z. With its paid Snapchat Plus subscription, users get access to exclusive features.
One cool new feature is the Snapchat Friend Solar System, which assigns planets to your closest friends based on how often you interact with them.
What Is the Snapchat Friend Solar System?
Think of yourself as the Sun, and your closest friends as planets orbiting around you. The closer the planet to the Sun, the closer that friend is to you on Snapchat.
Your closest friend is Mercury, the first planet, and the others follow the real solar system order all the way to Neptune, your eighth best friend.
Snapchat Planets Order and Meaning in 2025
- Mercury: Your closest friend, shown as a red planet with four red hearts.
- Venus: Your second best friend, a light brown planet with colorful hearts.
- Earth: Your third best friend, shown with the moon, stars, and red hearts.
- Mars: Your fourth best friend, a red planet with purple and blue hearts.
- Jupiter: Your fifth best friend, a reddish-orange planet with stars.
- Saturn: Your sixth best friend, an orange planet with rings and stars.
- Uranus: Your seventh best friend, a green planet with no hearts.
- Neptune: Your eighth best friend, a blue, desolate planet.
How Does It Work?
Only Snapchat Plus subscribers can see and use this feature. Once subscribed, you can tap on a friend’s profile and look for a “Best Friends” or “Friends” badge with a gold outline.
The Best Friends badge means you both are in each other’s top eight friends. The Friends badge means you’re in their top eight, but they aren’t in yours.
Tapping the badge reveals the planet you represent in their Snapchat solar system. For example, if you appear as Jupiter, you’re their fifth closest friend.
To enable the Snapchat Solar System feature: go to your profile, tap Snapchat+, then toggle on Solar System.
This fun feature helps Snapchat Plus users see their friendship closeness visually — like planets orbiting around the Sun.
