Only on a map. These are imaginary lines.
It's the lines of longitude which are used to define time zones, not lattitude.
the latitudes and longitudes are used to indicate the location and extension of a country or continent.longitudes influence the time of a place and divides the earth into various time zones whereas latitudes influence the duration of day and night and divide the earth into different time zones
Time Zones are based on lines of Longitude - with detours to avoid land.
The three lines of longitude that pass through Australia are 138°E, 144°E, and 153°E. They are used to divide the country into different time zones.
rom east to west they are Atlantic Standard Time (AST), Eastern Standard Time (EST), Central Standard Time (CST), Mountain Standard Time (MST), Pacific Standard Time (PST), Alaskan Standard Time (AKST), Hawaii-Aleutian Standard Time (HST), Samoa standard time (UTC-11) and Chamorro Standard Time (UTC+10).

by setting standard time zones to keep trains on schedule. The companies agreed to divide the continent into four time zones; the dividing lines adopted were very close to the ones we still use today.

Political bounderies make up a huge part of why time zones don't run in straight lines. They also are as big as they are because there are 24 hours in a day and 24 time zones.

Time zones are marked on a time zone map using a series of vertical lines that represent the boundaries between each time zone. Each line indicates a change in time by one hour, with some lines extending out into the ocean to encompass specific regions. The time zones are typically labeled with the offset from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).
Because the Earth is tilted on its axis. Therefore, sunlight doesn't always hit in the same spot all the time, so time zones have to be out of proportion.
