What do the Snapchat Planets mean?
Exclusively available to Snapchat+ users, the ‘Planets’ model maps your friendships in the vein of our Solar System. The Sun in this model represents the user whose profile you have selected. The planet next to the Sun is assigned to you. Depending on the volume of your interactions with the person, you could either be Mercury or Neptune.
The order of the planets is self-explanatory. The closest friend is assigned Mercury, the person next in line is assigned Venus, and so on. The real kicker is that Snapchat does not display the names of the planets in this model. You will need to rely on your Solar System knowledge to accurately guess the planet depicted in the image. Or you can simply read along and let us do it for you.
You can view your position in your friend’s Snapchat Solar System by going to their profile and tapping on the ‘Best Friends’ or ‘Friends’ badge. If you are ‘Best Friends’ with a user, it means you’re in each other’s top 8 friends. If you simply see the ‘Friends’ badge, it means you’re in their top 8 but they are not in yours.
Snapchat Planet Order Explained
Can’t figure out which planet you are sitting on in your friend’s Snapchat Solar System? Check out this explainer.
- Mercury: The first planet in the Solar System and the planet closest to the Sun, Mercury means you are the user’s closest friend. It is depicted as a red planet and has 5 red hearts floating around it.
- Venus: If you’re sitting on top of Venus it means you are the user’s second closest friend. It is represented by a brown ball with five pink, yellow, and blue hearts orbiting it.
- Earth: The most recognisable planet of the lot, Earth is represented by a mini globe and denotes that you are the third-closest friend in the user’s friend list. Orbiting the Earth is the moon and four red hearts.
- Mars: The red planet is denoted by a bright red ball in Snapchat’s planet order. There are three blue and purple hearts floating around Mars. If you’re sitting on the planet, it means you are the user’s fourth best friend.
- Jupiter: Jupiter also gets a reddish shade in Snapchat’s planet order, but it can be easily recognised by its stripes and swirls. There are no hearts floating around Jupiter. If you see Jupiter on your friend’s profile, it means you are their fifth closest friend.
- Saturn: The most identifiable feature of Saturn is its rings, and sure enough, its Snapchat representation gets those rings as well. In your friend’s Solar System, this planet is coloured orange. If you see it, it means you are the user’s sixth best friend.
- Uranus: The green planet around the Sun is Uranus. It is also the first planet in Snapchat’s Solar System model that does not receive any rays of light from the Sun, depicting how far away it is from the celestial body. If you see Uranus it means you are the user’s seventh closest friend.
- Neptune: The blue planet in Snapchat’s Solar System model is Neptune. It signifies that you are the user’s eight closest friend. The list cuts off at Neptune as Snapchat only takes into account the top 8 friends.
