This may shock you, so you'd be wise to take it sitting down:

East-west angles are described as angles of longitude. The Earth is a sphere.

A trip around the entire Earth is a circle. In an east or west direction, such a

trip covers 360 degrees of longitude. In a north or south direction, it covers

360 degrees of latitude.
