What does it mean if a state is outside contiguous or not part of the contiguous US?

The word contiguous means touching or connected. The contiguous US refers to the largest connected piece of American land. This happens to be the land situated between Mexico and Canada, which is also referred to as the Lower 48 because it contains forty-eight states. Therefore, the 48 states that are joined together are considered the contiguous United States, leaving Hawaii and Alaska as stand-alone states.The contiguous US is sometimes mistaken with the continental US. The continental US refers to the area of the US that is located on the continent of North America. This is just the contiguous US in addition to Alaska. Yet, Hawaii is not a part of the continental US either.It means it does not physically touch other states. Hawaii has an ocean between itself and other states. Alaska has another country- Canada- between it and another state.

How many states are in the whole us?

The Continental or Contiguous US means the states that touch each other. The contiguous United States are the "Lower 48" States on the continent of North America that are south of Canada, plus the Capital (Washington, D.C.) The term excludes the states of Alaska and Hawaii, and all off-shore territories and possessions, such as Puerto Rico.There are 50 US states, but only 48 are 48 contiguous states. Alaska and Hawaii are the only 2 that are not part of the mainland and do not have a border with the other 48 states.
