	'''Latitude''' is a measure of an [[interval]]'s size in relation to a (possibly tempered) [[perfect fifth\|fifth]], or another interval (the "axis of polarity" or just "axis") serving the same function in another harmonic system. An interval as defined by its latitude may be called a "medial" and always has an axis complement. Latitude ranges from 90 degrees Minor (-90°) to 90 degrees Major (90°), corresponding to 180edA where A is the axis. "Low-latitude" means close to 0 degrees, "high-latitude" means close to ±90 degrees.
