The key signature does not appears just after the clef on each line of music.

Key signatures are typically only written once at the beginning of a staff (unless there's a change later in the piece) and not repeated on every line. They indicate which sharps or flats are to be applied throughout the piece and can imply whether the music is major or minor.
