The stone is an imperial unit of weight that is commonly used in the UK and Ireland. It is equivalent to 14 pounds, or approximately 6.35 kilograms. The stone is often used to express body weight, particularly in everyday contexts. For example, someone might say they weigh 12 stones, which would mean 12 x 14 = 168 pounds or about 76.2 kilograms.
