The Sun is not at the same elevation or place at every place on Earth at any given time. Depending on longitude and position there is a time difference that was calculated by a system. This system lists that California is a part of the time zone whose time is GMT -8:00 while New York is a part of the time zone whose time is GMT -5:00. GMT stands for Greenwich Mean Time in which this is the time zone of area around the 0˚ longitude, the Prime Meridian. Based on simple mathematics and subtraction you can conclude that the time difference between New York and California is three hours.

No. It's 3 hours behind. Noon in NYC is 9AM in LA.
