For OpenSSH, ssh-keygen -l can tell you, eg:
$ ssh-keygen -l -f .ssh/id_rsa
2048 f3:f8:57:12:54:f0:02:fe:3c:b8:7e:5b:24:b3:f0:eb .ssh/id_rsa
is a 2048-bit key. Other software will probably do it differently.

Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience
usually comes from bad judgement.
