Alaska and Hawaii are non-contiguous states, meaning they do not border any other state.
Alaska is a continental state, however, as it is located on the North American continent. It occupies the Northwestern corner of North America and borders Canada to the east.
Hawaii is not a continental state, as it is an island state. It is located in Oceania, practically midway between North America and Asia.

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.
