No - as Earth rotates the stars and constellations seem to move. Also, as Earth orbits the sun over the course of a year, the stars we see at night in the winter are different than the stars we see at night in the summer. Same with Spring and Fall.

What is the difference between the zodiac constellations and other constellations?

There is an imaginary band in the sky called the Plane of the Ecliptic. The planets we can see from earth, never wander above or below that band of sky - so the planets are always in one of the other of the constellations that lie in that band. We call those particular 12 (or 13) constellations the "constellations of the Zodiac".

How long do constellations stay in the night sky Aries?

You had an actual grammatical question going there right up until the end. It's actually impossible to answer, since "circumpolar" constellations (such as Ursa Minor for observers in the northern hemisphere) are always in the night sky, and other constellations (such as Crux for observers in the northern hemisphere) are never in the night sky (or the day sky either, for that matter).Zodiacal constellations such as Aries are approximately on the celestial equator, and are therefore visible at night for approximately half the year.
