What does a kiloton represent in mass?

A kiloton (metric) equals 1,000 metric tons or 1,000,000 kilograms, used to measure very large masses.

Where is the stone (UK) unit commonly used?

The stone is mostly used informally in the UK and Ireland, especially for describing human body weight.

Can kiloton also refer to something other than mass?

Yes, it can denote an energy measurement related to explosives, so context matters during conversion.
