Enclosed in its own little sac (pericardium), the heart rests on the diaphragm, between the lower borders of the lungs, the middle of your mediastinum (center chest), and in the thoracic region of your spinal cord. Essentially, if you take your right fist, place it between your L breast and your center "breastbone" that would be the approximate size and location of your heart.
There are two lungs, one on each side of the upper chest. The heart is nestled between the lungs just below their center.
Since the heart is in between the lungs, it is said to be medial to the lungs.
The heart is close to but above the diaphragm
Unnderneath the rib cage in your chest.
Superior
Anatomically speaking the two are not related. While the former lies in the thorax, the latter is in the abdomen. But the heart can be considered superior to the liver, with diaphragm and other structures in between.
The heart is anchored to the diaphragm in order to keep it in place. The diaphragm also reduces friction to the outer membranes of the heart.

The heart lies superior to the diaphragm, between the two lungs.
Many biology and medical textbooks contain anatomically correct drawings of the heart. Online medical resources will also offer images of anatomically correct organs.
