In contemporary times we can observe many advances in astronomy. It is not uncommon for us to receive news about the results of studies and observations of places previously only imaginable in the Universe. However, in a world in which knowledge advances rapidly and access to much information, how is the Solar System imagined? What are the conceptions about the movement of the planets that constitute it? Inspired by these questions, the present work aimed to investigate what are the conceptions about the solar system in the perspective of Kepler's Laws of the master students of a pole of the National Program of Professional Master in Physics Teaching (MNPEF) of the state of Paraná. As a consequence of this design, we asked about the seasons and if the Universal Gravitation content is taught by the participants. To carry out the study we used the assumptions of qualitative research; and the data was constituted by means of a questionnaire, in which we expected to find consistent conceptions due to the interest in the MNPEF. However, we were able to verify mistakes in the conceptions and the lack of them through unanswered questions. It was also possible to show that the issues related to the Universal Gravitation theme are not discussed in basic education for the most varied reasons.
