Yes, the trachea is anterior to (in front of) the spinal cord or, in other words, the spinal cord is posterior to (behind) the trachea.

The previous answer is 90 degrees wrong.

The trachea is ventral to the spinal cord. Anterior means towards the head and posterior means towards the tail. Ventral is towards the belly and dorsal is towards the back.

The trachea is not superior to the spine. Both are found at the same level, in the neck. The trachea is superior to the lumbar and thoracic spines, but is anterior to the cervical spine.

The spinal cord is superior to (above) the trachea, that means the spinal cord lies dorsally to the trachea. You could also say that the trachea is inferior to the spinal cord.When you are doing body directions on a human, you have to lay the human on his belly. Anterior is towards the head; Posterior, towards the tail end. If you are a surgeon, then left and right are your left and right while facing the patient.
