On: Why London is 4-5 hrs ahead and LA is 3 hrs behind Boston though both are as far

OP has a misleading premise, and the top comment thread is focusing on a less relevant detail. More relevant comments focus on the longitude, rather than the straight-line distance.

> Los Angeles is about 47° longitude from Boston, and London is about 71° longitude from Boston.

Yeah, they should really be complaining about Lima, Peru!
