What is a key signature?
A key signature is the number of sharps or flats in a piece of music. For example C Major has no sharps G Major has 1 Sharp F Major has 1 Flat B flat Major has 2 Flats In a piece of music The key signature is put after the Clef (e.g. treble clef) and before the time signature (2/4)In musical notation, a key signature is a series of sharp or flat symbols placed on the staff, designating notes that are to be consistently played one semitone higher or lower than the equivalent natural notes unless otherwise altered with an accidental. Key signatures are generally written immediately after the clef at the beginning of a line of musical notation, although they can appear in other parts of a score, notably after a double bar. Key signatures are generally used in a score to avoid the complication of having sharp or flat symbols on every instance of certain notes. Each major and minor key has an associated key signature that sharpens or flattens the notes which are used in its scale. However, it is not uncommon for a piece to be written with a key signature that does not match its key, for example, in some Baroque pieces,[1] or in transcriptions of traditional modal folk tunes.[2]
How do you find a key from a key signature in flats?
The easiest way is to consult a circle of fifths. As a band director, I require my students to keep one with them in their folder. The second simple method is this. C has 0 flats, memorize that. Again, memorize that F has 1 flat. Finally. After that, the name of the key signature will be the penultimate flat (that is the second to the last flat in the key signature.) As an example, if there are 4 flats in your key signature they are: Bb Eb Ab and Db. They will always be listed in that order. Ab is the penultimate, and thusly this would be the key of Ab.

Bbb Eb Ab Db Gb Cb Fb. Far from being strictly theoretical, the key F flat major becomes important when a composition in Cb major modulates to the Subdominant, the second most common modulation. The key-change may be indicated either through accidentals (double-flats placed beside notes), or through a change of key signature. While some composers might write a sonata in the key of Cb major, they might wish their second movement to be in the Subdominant key.

What key in music has 1 sharp?
The key signature comes right after the clef symbol on the staff. It may have either some sharp symbols on particular lines or spaces, or some flat symbols, again on particular lines or spaces. If there are no flats or sharps listed after the clef symbol, then the key signature is "all notes are natural". In common notation, clef and key signature are the only symbols that normally appear on every staff. They appear so often because they are such important symbols; they tell you what note is on each line and space of the staff. The clef tells you the letter name of the note (A, B, C, etc.), and the key tells you whether the note is sharp, flat or natural. so.... yeah here you go.
