About the Geographic (longitude/latitude) family
RGSH2020 is a geographic coordinate system: positions are longitude and latitude in degrees on its reference ellipsoid, not metres on a plane. It is the datum layer that projected grids (UTM, national belts) are built upon.
Because it is unprojected, distances and areas cannot be measured directly from its degrees — convert to a metric projected system (or use a geodesic calculation) first. This page's converter does exactly that.
