Dihedral is an angle formed between the wing and a line parallel to the lateral axis (when u look at an aircraft from the nose, u can see the wings going up a little bit). This angle provides increased AOA for the down going wing during roll motions in order to provide stabilizing moments and return the aircraft to equilibrium.
