ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Dihedral angle

Okay kiddo, imagine you have two wings like an airplane on your hands (move your hands like wings). When you look at them from the top, they might be flat and parallel to each other, but if you turn one up slightly, then the angle between them changes. The angle between the two wings is called the dihedral angle. So, it's like having two planes or wings and seeing how much they tilt or bend away from each other. This angle is important in things like airplane design because it affects how stable the plane will be in the air.
