Abstract

This paper aims to contribute to the dialogue about the use of Augmented Reality (AR) applications for teaching the solar system in the course of Astronomy or Geography in Education. Towards this purpose, relevant articles from the last five years were searched and the concepts addressed in the applications of the articles as well as the concepts absent from them were studied. The results indicated that the applications of ΑR on the solar system are limited and there is a need for further development, the concepts approached are mainly the motion of the planets and the use of AR enhances students’ motivation.
