edit: it would be called orientation.
The technical term for that sense is "Balance".

EDIT: Although dictionary.com seems to prefer the term "Equilibrium", which I have to admit sounds better.

My uncle once suggested that Proprioception was another sense, but we eventually decided that it wouldn't be, as it is purely an internal system, and isn't really affected by external factors.
