help understanding gpg --list--keys output

when I run gpg --list-keys I get the following output.

/home/yax/.gnupg/pubring.kbx
----------------------------
pub   rsa2048 2020-10-09 [SC]
      4424C645C99A4C29E540C26AAD7DB850AD9CFFAB
uid           [ultimate] yaxley peaks <[email protected]>
sub   rsa2048 2020-10-09 [E]

what is my actual key in this block of text?

How do i get my key id?

what does the [SC] and the [E] mean and what does sub mean?

Here's some info regarding the key.

  1. it was generated with gpg --full-generate-key and i chose the rsa rsa option.
  2. Its 2048 bytes long
