England is close to where the prime meridian is. Actually, it is in england (london). So then in the US, the eastern time zone is 5 hours away from the prime meridian, so then you you take the time in england and subract it by 5 hrs to find the time in the eastern time zone of the US. Also, every 15 degrees of longitude equals one hour either added if toward the east and subtracted if toward the west.

It depends on which bit of the USA. It ranges from 5 to 8 hours behind us in the main part of America: 5 hours behind England in the eastern zone; 6 hours behind England in the central zone; 7 hours behind us in the mountain zone; 8 hours behind us in the Pacific time zone. Alaska is 9 hours behind and Hawaii is 10 hours behind.
