I hope you are not a licenced pilot, rapid!

Stall isn't rally a speed, it's an AoA. But for an given configuration and weight etc the stall AoA will be reached at a particular indicated airspeed (the point at which the airflow breaks away from the wing's surface). This IAS is always the same for that config etc, though it will occur at vastly different TASs if the air density varies.
