No, time zones are based on 15 degrees longitude, because there are 360 degrees of longitude on the globe and 24 hours a day, so 360/24 makes 15. But, there are 24 time zones for 25 times (-12, -11, ... -1, 0, +1, ... +11, +12) and half-hour and quarter-hour variations so it really isn't based on anything.
