If a state is outside the contiguous United States, it means that it is not located within the 48 contiguous states that form a single, connected landmass in North America. The contiguous United States includes all the states that are geographically adjacent to one another, excluding Alaska and Hawaii.
To determine if a state is outside the contiguous United States, you can refer to a map of the United States. The contiguous states are located to the east of Alaska and to the west of Hawaii. If a state is listed or shown as being separate from the landmass that constitutes the 48 contiguous states, it is outside of them.
