Introduction
Snapchat has introduced a fun and engaging feature known as Snap Planets, a creative way to rank your closest friends based on the solar system. But what exactly is this feature, and how does it work? Let’s dive into the details!
What Are Snap Planets?
Snap Planets is a feature of Snapchat’s “Best Friends” list, where your friends are assigned planets based on their level of interaction with you. Just like the solar system, your best friend is the Sun, and other friends are ranked in order, representing planets based on their closeness to you.
How Do Snap Planets Work?
Each of your best friends is assigned a planet in the solar system, with the closest one being Mercury and the farthest being Neptune. The ranking is determined by how often you interact with them on Snapchat.
Snapchat Planets and Their Meanings
Here’s a breakdown of what each planet represents:
- Mercury – Your #1 best friend, the person you snap with the most.
- Venus – Your second closest friend, frequently interacting with you.
- Earth – The third closest friend, still an important connection.
- Mars – Fourth in rank, meaning regular interactions but slightly less than the top three.
- Jupiter – Fifth in rank, still in your best friends but with lower interaction.
- Saturn – Sixth in rank, a less frequent interaction but still a valued friend.
- Uranus – Seventh in rank, occasional interactions.
- Neptune – Eighth in rank, the least interactive among your best friends.
