Snapchat Planets

Snapchat has recently introduced a new and existing feature for its Plus users called the Snapchat Planets System, also known as the Friend Solar System.

You might remember studying about the solar system in your childhood science books — how there is a sun at the center and several planets revolving around it.

Well, Snapchat Plus’s feature is based on a similar concept. As a Plus user, you are the sun in your solar system, and your top 8 closest friends are represented as the planets revolving around you.

As we all know, Mercury is the closest planet to the sun, so the friend with whom you have the most chats and streaks will become Mercury in your Snap planets solar system. Similarly, the second closest friend will become Venus, and so on. The list goes all the way to the 8th planet, Neptune, positioning your top 8 contacts around you like planets in a solar system.

In Snapchat’s Friend Solar System

You (the viewer) are always represented as the Sun. The people in your Snapchat Best Friends list or snapchat planet bsf list are placed on different planets depending on how close your interaction is with them.

Here is the Snapchat Planet list.

Here, you will see planets in the Solar System with different colors, and one sitting on the planet is you. And the other one seeing from the Sun is your friends. Scroll down to all the eight planets in the Solar System with their places and names.

Examples:

• If you tap on a friend’s BFF badge and see yourself on a planet with yellow, orange, pink, violet, and blue colors, that indicates Mercury, showing that you’re ranked #1 on their best friends list.
• If the planet has yellow, red, and violet colors, it represents Mars, meaning you’re #4 in their top friends.

In total, there are eight planets, each representing a specific position on a friend’s list. The ranking is determined by how frequently you exchange snaps and chat with them — the more active the connection, the closer the planet to the sun.

This unique visual system helps you easily identify which friends you interact with the most on Snapchat.

I remember when I first found the Snapchat planets order feature—I was so surprised! I saw a gold badge on my friend’s profile, held it down, and suddenly I was a little planet in their Snapchat world. It was super fun! Now I check with all my close friends to see what planet I am in their universe.

Here’s how you can check your Snapchat planets order too:

Want to go from Neptune to Mercury in someone’s Snapchat Solar System? Your spot depends on how often and how meaningfully you interact with that friend. Here’s how to climb higher and become one of their top connections.

1. Keep a Long Snapstreak Going

Snap daily and maintain streaks over 100 days. The longer the streak, the higher the chances of ranking as Mercury or Venus—the top planet positions.

2. Start Chats Often

Don’t wait for them to message you first. Open conversations regularly to build a habit of interaction.

3. Respond Quickly

If they send you a Snap or message, reply fast. Fast replies show you’re engaged and value the connection.

4. Send Personal Snaps, Not Just Group Ones

Make your interactions personal. Skip the mass Snap—send photos, videos, or stickers directly to them.

5. React to Stories Consistently

Comment on their Stories or send a quick reaction. It signals you’re paying attention and want to stay in their social loop.

6. Use Fun Emojis and Filters

Lively conversations with emojis, filters, and stickers feel more fun—and help your snaps stand out.

7. Send Thoughtful or Funny Snaps

Instead of random selfies, send snaps that start a conversation or make them laugh.

Snapchat Plus is a paid subscription by Snapchat that you pay for. It gives you cool new features that most people don’t have yet. It’s great if you want to make your app more fun and try out new tools before everyone else.
