Patrick's car spun on the ice and ended up facing in exactly the opposite direction. How many degrees did it spin?

If a body turns a complete circle around itself, pointing in the same initial direction, the body turned 360°.

Since the car spun and then faced the opposite direction, it turned half a circle, so the car spun 180 degrees.
