Theoretically, there are 24 times zones to cover the earth. So each time zone is 1 hour of time difference and 15 degrees. (Divide 360 by 24). However, practically, some time zones are larger than others. The line that seperates time zones are not straight. For example you can travel in the Central Time Zone and cover all of Texas, Arkansas, Mississippi and Alabama before the time changes. I'm sure that is greater than 15 degrees of earth's rotation.

How many degrees that each longitude measures?

There is no such division. You would not ask "Height is divided into multiples of how many inches?" Some maps and globes show a line every so many degrees of longitude, and some don't. The ones that do may mark a line every 10 degrees, 15 degrees, 20 or 30 degrees, etc. You should not make the mistake of thinking that those are the only longitudes that exist, or that there's some reason for dividing them up that way.
