Astronomy is part of everyday life of the residents in Macapá-AP, Brazil (located at zero latitude), however, the divulgation means rarely propagate about the aspects of this science for an observer in the equator line. When proposing this work it's aimed at doing the scientific divulgation of the analysis of some physical phenomena which have an intrinsic relationship with Astronomy from an observer's sight at zero latitude, as an example, in the city of Macapá, state of Amapá. For this analysis, subjects were selected such as the celestial sphere visualization, emphasizing which constellations are visible during an earth year in the middle of the world, as so as it's made an analysis of their apparent annual movement, where it's proposed a preparation of a planisphere for zero latitude; it's also elucidated about the Coriolis Force action, over the masses of air and water, explaining in which direction these masses twist, giving theoretical resources to be comprehended the possibilities of occurring hurricanes in the equator line; and finally it's discussed about the solstices and, more specifically, about the equinox, and their particularities for an observer in zero latitude.
