Attitude or attitude means emotional stance or state of mind, when expressed towards someone or something--
His supervisor reported him because of his hostile attitude.
His sly, knowing attitude made them uncomfortable.
Attitude or attitude also means the orientation, in reference to the ground, right or left, up or down, of a plane or space craft--
Pay attention to the attitude indicator and the fuel gauge.
The plane seems to be leaning to the right; what's our attitude?
Altitude or altitude means height or elevation from the ground, as in the distance from the ground when in an airplane, or the distance from sea level of a particular place--
Make sure to read the directions for baking at a high altitude.
The weather is clear, and our altitude is 38,000 feet.
Now that you know that, you can say--
"The high altitude frightened him, but he tried to hide it with a nonchalant attitude."
