One of the goals of science teaching is to help students gain a deeper scientific understanding of natural phenomena, such as the solar system. However, in reality, students often struggle to understand abstract ideas about the solar system. Difficulty in understanding abstract concepts can cause students to experience misconceptions so they need appropriate learning media. This research aims to create Augmented Reality-based Solar System learning Media (ARSSMED), so that it will help students in understanding abstract ideas. The ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation) approach is the basis of the research and development which is used in this study. The research instrument used validation sheets for media, material, and language experts to determine product feasibility. Practicality test was also used through student and teacher response questionnaires in the study. The results showed validation by ARSSMED experts included in very valid criteria. This can be seen from the assessment of media experts of 82.5%, material experts of 92.5, and linguists of 97.5%. At the implementation stage, teachers and students also gave positive responses to ARSSMED. Based on students' responses, ARSSMED is included in the very practical criteria. These findings indicate that the ARSSMED developed is feasible to use for learning. This study recommends further testing the effectiveness of ARSSMED.
