artificial horizon
An artificial horizon, also known as an attitude indicator, is an instrument used in an aircraft to inform the pilot of the orientation of the aircraft relative to Earth's horizon. It displays pitch (rotation around the side-to-side axis) and roll (rotation around the front-to-back axis), helping to maintain the aircraft in the correct flight attitude, even during conditions with poor visibility or at night.
