The mainland United States, often referred to as the contiguous United States, covers an area of approximately 3.1 million square miles (8 million square kilometers). This includes all states except Alaska and Hawaii. The contiguous U.S. stretches from the Atlantic Ocean in the east to the Pacific Ocean in the west, and from Canada in the north to Mexico in the south.

What is the difference between an island and a mainland?

An island is a body of land completely surrounded by water. A mainland is a larger body of land surrounded by water. A mainland is the largest of the other islands. A mainland isn't determined by size, it's determined by size compared to other islands. For example; Hawaii is a mainland. Kauai is an island. This is because Hawaii is larger than Kauai. Depending on how you look at it, Hawaii would be an island, and North America would be the mainland.A mainland is an island, but an island isn't always a mainland.
