180 degrees, but technically, no. It's opposite sign, not 180 degrees

Same thing


No, it's not. It's one phase.


The reference is neutral. Each "hot" is 180º from the other when the
correct reference is used.


No, it's not. Words mean things. Phase has a particular meaning and
a phase shift and inversion are different things. In degenerate cases
they may look the same but they're not. Call things by their proper
names and communication gets easier. Or not, spread lies. Your
choice.
