My most recent frequent-flyer statement says that there are 3000 miles from Boston (BOS) to Los Angeles (LAX). Since planes travel along great circles, this distance $D_{\rm us}$ represents a segment of the Earth's circumference. There are four time zones (three intervals) from Boston to Los Angeles, out of 24, so $D_{\rm us}$ represents 1/8 of the Earth's circumference.
