The time zone east of the coast of America (US) is the Atlantic Standard Time Zone, which is equivalent to Greenwich Mean Time minus 4 hours. (GMT -4)

The Prime Meridian is the area where Greenwich Mean Time (0) is calibrated to zero and runs vertically through the United Kingdom. If a time zone is designated as plus or minus hours from GMT, you can calculate the time differences between areas.

Example:

Atlantic Standard Time is four hours behind Greenwich England and the rest of the UK.

Eastern Standard Time is five hours behind the UK (GMT -5).

So, if it is 3:00 pm in Nova Scotia on Atlantic Standard time, then it is 2:00 pm in New York (EST) and it is 7:00 pm in England.

To continue the example across to the west coast of the US, California is on Pacific Standard Time (GMT -8), so the time in Los Angeles, California, when it is 3:00 pm in the Atlantic Standard Time Zone (AST) in Nova Scotia, is 11:00 am PST/GMT -8.
