Pacific Time is three hours BEHIND Eastern Time.

The U.S. has four main time zones. From west to east, they are: Pacific Time, Mountain Time, Central Time, and Eastern Time. Each is one hour later than the last. For example, if it's 3 PM Pacific Time, then it's 4 PM Mountain Time, 5 PM Central Time, and 6 PM Eastern Time.

Remember that going west always takes you "back in time," and going east takes you "into the future," so to speak.

So, if City A is west of City B, then City A's time is behind City B's time.

If City A is EAST of City B, then City A's time is AHEAD of City B's time.
