Answer:

New York City is located at coordinates 40° 39′ 40″ north latitude and 73° 56′ 38″ west longitude. Its time zone is the Eastern Time Zone (UTC -5).

In turn, Reno, Nevada, is located at coordinates 39° 31′ 38″ N and 119° 49′ 19″ W. Its time zone is the Pacific Time Zone (UTC -8).

As we can see, between Reno and New York there is a time difference of 3 hours: if in Reno it is 2:00 pm, in New York it will be 5:00 pm at the same time.

This is explained by the longitudinal difference between both cities: there are 45º 52 '41' 'degrees of difference between both cities.
