Erie is located 442 km north-west of Washington D.C., so Dhuhr in Erie is called about 12 minutes later than in Washington D.C. This difference comes from longitude: every degree of longitude shifts solar noon by about four minutes, and that is why the timetable of the capital is not accurate in Erie.
