How to find and name the key of a key signature

What is a key signature.

A key signature tells the reader what key the piece is written in and what are the sharps and flats within that key. It is important to know the key the music is written in because it tells the reader the starting pitch, which is the first note the reader will play/sing, and the notes that will be sharp/flat.
