And Pluto is about 120 degrees, and Venus about 180 degrees.

I'm confused here. How can you tell it's 120 deg, not 60? Or 180,
not 0? Is the northness of the pole based on rotation direction or
something?

Yes. The sun rises in the East, and sets in the West, by definition.

Well, at least by one common definition.
