On average, time zones are 15 degrees of longitude wide. There are 360 degrees in a circle, and 24 time zones (actually, there are several more that are a half-hour off of the others) so each time zone "ought to be" 15 degrees wide.

However, the boundaries between time zones are anything EXCEPT straight and even. Even in oceanic areas, the boundaries are drawn more for political and practical reasons than by any measure of consistency.
