∙ 14y agoThe US extends throughout three ranges of latitude:
51.2° to 71.4° north : Alaska
24.5° to 49.4° north : the "lower 48"
18.9° to 22.2° north : Hawaii ,
spanning a little more than 48° of latitude in all, or roughly 13% of the earth's polar circumference.
For any latitude within one of those ranges that you'd like to specify, there is some territory
at that latitude within the USA.
