No. What you might be thinking about is the Prime Meridian. This is a line that goes from the North Pole to the South pole, running through Greenwich, England on the way. All time around the world is measured from that line. check out the related link below
Going straight south from the (US) East coast, you will end up on the equator. The equator is a line that splits Earth in two halves perpendicular of Earth's rotation axis, so the equator spans ALL time zones, depending on which point of the line you are. So, if you're on the Equator in Colombia, it will be a 0 hours time difference, while if you are on the Equator in Kenya, there will be an 8 hours difference and so on. However, if you care for the South American country called "Ecuador" which is on the Equator, and if by East Coast you mean the one in the US, the time difference is 0 hours.

In a Mercator projection, the standard line is typically the equator. This is the line where the scale distortion is minimal, meaning that distances along the equator are most accurately represented compared to other lines on the map.
Distance. Each zone is 1/24th of the Earth's circumference, or about 1000 miles at the equator and about 600 miles in the US.
There are a few different time zones in North America. There is Atlantic Standard Time, Alaska Standard Time, Central Standard Time, Eastern Standard Time, Mountain Standard Time, Pacific Standard Time, and Hawaii-Aleutian Standard Time.

On standard maps and globes, the Equator goes side to side.

The equator doesn't start or end anywhere. It's a complete circle, with no ends or breaks in it.

Lines of latitude are called parallels. The lines start at the equator and are located north and south of the equator.
In general, no, the time does not change as you cross the equator.
