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

What is the time difference between the Equator and the East Coast?

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.
