Hello,
What's stall on plane?

A stall on a plane is when the wing's Angle of attack exceeds the Critical angle of attack. When this is exceeded the air doesn't flow from the leading edge to the trailing edge smoothly in a stall, but separates upward and becomes turbulent. Because of this the wing doesn't produce any lift. The turbulence also produces drag, which slows you down further.
Every pilot is taught stall recovery. Just push full power and nose down.

a stall simply means that a plane cannot produce enough lift in relation to the forward thrust from the engine (or engines) of the plane, and as a result, the plane will fall back towards the ground untill the pilot can pick up enough speed and recover from the stall

it is the moment, when the air flowing over the wing stops flowing smoothly along all the wing "skin" and starts to turbulate. this reduces the lift dramatically, and results in either
> simple stall, when the nose drops and aircraft increases speed so that the flow smoothens again or the
> spin, where the lift is lost at one half of the wing /left or right/, and the aircraft starts to rotate about the longitudinal and vertical axis. some planes recover on themselves, some do not recover without control input from the pilot, and some planes /like MiG23/ are not possible to recover at all.

It is when the airflow over the top of the wing has slowed to the point, there is not longer enough lift to keep the aircraft in the air.
It is a product of gross weight, bank angle and flight controls.
Higher bank angles create stall at higher speeds. Extending flaps and slats lower stall speed, allowing aircraft to fly slower for Takeoff and Landing.

Simply speaking: its when the petrol doesnt get to the engine

When you reach an angle that lift is no longer provided to the wings.

Simply put, when the wing loses lift.

When the aircraft drops below a certain speed and starts to lose altitude.
