Abstract

This paper aims to contribute to the discussion regarding the use of Augmented Reality (AR) applications for teaching the solar system, an Astronomy issue presented in the curriculum of the Geography course in Greek schools. Relevant articles from the last five years that refer to Augmented Reality (AR) applications were sought, and studying the concepts presented in them, as well as their overall impact on teaching. The results showed that: a) Concepts related to the solar system approached mainly focus on the movement of planets, b) the use of AR enhances students' motivation for engaging with Astronomy issues, and c) AR applications on the solar system are limited, indicating a need for further development and integration of AR into the teaching process.
