If you have Snapchat+, you may have seen a Solar System on your friend's profile page. This represents how close you are to that friend and can change depending on how often you interact with them. Here's what the Snapchat planets are and what they mean.

Snapchat Planets Meaning and Order

The Friend Solar System in Snapchat works by assigning you a planet that represents your position in another user's friend list. The planets from closest to farthest are Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.

1. 
   The Snapchat Solar System represents your position on a friend's Best Friends list. Snapchat assigns you a planet based on how close you are to a user. This is affected by how often you Snap and interact with each other. The Friend Solar System is only available for Snapchat+ users; you won't see this feature unless you have an active subscription.

   • To check your position in a friend's Solar System, navigate to their profile. Tap the Best Friends or Friends badge underneath their name.
     • If you see Best Friends, this means you're each other's top 8 friends. If you see Friends, you're in their top 8 friends, but they're not in yours.

1. 
   There are 8 possible positions in someone's Solar System. Using the real solar system, you'll know how close you are to a friend by which planet you see with your Bitmoji. When viewing your own position, your friend's Bitmoji will always be the Sun.

   • Mercury. This brassy orange, pink, and grey planet is the closest planet to the Sun. Seeing your Bitmoji on Mercury means you're number one in your friend's Solar System.
   • Venus. If you see Venus, you're ranked second in the Solar System. This planet has pale orange and brown swirls.
   • Earth. Recognizable by the green continents and blue oceans, Earth represents rank three in your friend's Solar System.
   • Mars. This red planet means you're ranked fourth in the Solar System.
   • Jupiter. This orange planet with multicolored swirls is Jupiter, and it represents rank five in your friend's Solar System.
   • Saturn. If you have Saturn, the orange-yellow planet with a large ring, you're ranked sixth in the Solar System.
   • Uranus. This swirled, green planet is Uranus, which means you're seventh in your friend's Solar System.
   • Neptune. Last, the deep blue planet Neptune represents rank eight in the Solar System.

  Either you or your friend is not using Snapchat Plus. If both are using Snapchat Plus, you need to activate the Snapchat Solar System in settings.
