An airplane has an instrument called the “attitude indicator.” It shows the position of the plane to the horizon. When the airplane is climbing, it is said to have a “nose-high attitude” because the nose of the airplane is pointed above the horizon. When the aircraft is diving, it is said to have a “nose-down attitude” because the nose of the plane is below the horizon.
