Best Answer

In the United States, the East Coast is on Eastern Standard Time while the West Coast is on Pacific Standard Time. Between the two is Central Standard Time and Mountain Standard Time, for a total of three time zones between the East Coast and the West Coast. Therefore, the East Coast is 3 hours ahead of the West Coast - ie, 5 PM on the East Coast is 2 PM on the West Coast.
