AI and digital tools play an important role in teaching astronomy and cosmology across IGCSE, Egyptian national, and American K–12 systems. A comparison including curricula, teaching methods, and technology use, highlighting strengths and challenges is done. Tools like Stellarium, PhET, GeoGebra, and NASA/ESA resources are presented alongside AI-powered platforms that support personalized learning. Special focus is given to Arabic-language content for Egyptian classrooms. The study offers practical, inclusive strategies for future-ready, tech-enhanced science education.
