There are a total of fifteen keys in Western music. Keys come with two forms, sharp keys and flat keys and one comes with all naturals. The complete list of major keys are shown below: C major (or A minor) - no sharps/flats G major (E minor) - 1 sharp D major (B minor) - 2 sharps A major (F-sharp minor) - 3 sharps E major (C-sharp minor) - 4 sharps B major (G-sharp minor) - 5 sharps F-sharp major (D-sharp minor) - 6 sharps C-sharp major (A-sharp minor) - 7 sharps F major (D minor) - 1 flat B-flat major (G minor) - 2 flats E-flat major (C minor) - 3 flats A-flat major (F minor) - 4 flats D-flat major (B-flat minor) - 5 flats G-flat major (E-flat minor) - 6 flats C-flat major (A-flat minor) -7 flats There you go, those are all the different keys you can write in!

Major keys tend to be associated with cheerful or upbeat feelings.
G major or e minor
The keys of Eb Major and c minor have three flats in their key signatures: Bb, Eb, and Ab.
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.
The augmented triad does not appear in any major or natural minor scales.
