A little confused with the circle of fifths

I’m trying to wrap my head around the circle of fifths, but Google answers confused me.

Does the circle of fifths have anything to do with the note circle that I was introduced to?

All I know about the circle of fifths is that Hey Joe’s chord progression follows it: C-G-D-A-E, that’s literally all that I know about it. I can see these chords on the circle of fifths chart as consecutive.

I believe this is something way simpler than I’m imagining 😅
