I am trying to make buffers around points on a map in qgis. For some reason, when I try to make buffers, they take up a lot of space on the map.

I ensured that my CRS is the same as the map, which is WGS 84.

Does anyone know why the buffers are so large around each of my points?

I do not know if you can change the units while creating the buffer. But with experimentation I found out that 1 metre is 0.00001 in Buffer Distance units. So if you want to create a buffer around your point of 40 metres, enter 0.0004 in Buffer distance.
