Contiguous states are those that share a common border without any gaps or interruptions. In the United States, all states except Alaska and Hawaii are considered contiguous, as they are connected to each other. For example, states like California, Nevada, and Oregon touch each other, while states in the Midwest, such as Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois, also share borders.
