The minor keys usually have a darker sound and feel to them - as opposed to the major keys which sound generally brighter. The minor keys are based on the sixth degree of a given major scale (lets take D major as an example, if we go up six steps in this scale we get the notes D, E, F♯, G, A, and B). So B minor will have the same key signature as D major (with two sharps). In a major scale there are four semitones between the first and third degrees of the scale but in minor keys there are only three semitones. So in the D major scale the third scale degree (mediant) is F♯ but the same degree in D minor if F♮ (natural). As with the major keys, minor keys can also contain up to seven sharps or flats in their key signature too.
Parallel major and minor keys have the same tonic pitch. Therefore, E minor is the parallel minor of E Major.
Minor keys that include D-sharp are C#, G#, D#, and A#. D# is also the leading tone in E minor, but it would be indicated with accidentals instead of in the key signature. Minor keys with E-flat are G, C, F, Bb, Eb, and Ab.
The Circle of Keys is a diagram of all Major and minor keys signatures. The sharp keys are arranged from the top, moving clockwise. The flat keys are arranged from the top, moving counterclockwise. There are fifteen Major keys: seven sharp keys, seven flat keys, and one key with no sharps or flats. Likewise, there are fifteen relative minor keys. The keys at the bottom of the circle are called enharmonic keys because their tones sound the same but are named and written differently. The Circle of Keys is sometimes called the Circle of Fifths because the keys are arranged an interval of a fifth apart.
A minor consists of the same chords as C major, the chords are: A minor B diminished C major D minor E minor F major G major and A minor These chords are completely made up of white keys.

White keys are for the major scale, black keys for the minor.

It varies by key, just like with major keys. There can be as few as one flat (D minor) or all seven flats (A-flat minor). Minor keys can have sharps too.
