It depends on the constellation, as they are different widths. The widest is Virgo, at 42º. Because the year is 365 days and a circle is 360º, each degree approximates one day that the Sun rises in that constellation, so the Sun rises in Virgo for just over 42 days.
The narrowest constellation is Scorpio. At only 5º of the zodiac, the Sun rises in Scorpio a bit over 5 days, statistically.

Is the sun a constellation?
No. A constellation is a group of stars that appear to be in a pattern as seen from Earth. The sun is just one star.
Is the constellation lit by the sun?
No. Each star in a constellation is a separate 'sun' all its own.
How do you see different constellations in the sky at different times of the year?
The relative position (direction, actually) of a constellation and the Sun changes, due to Earth's orbit around the Sun. Thus, at one moment the Sun might be in a certain constellation; half a year later, the Sun will be in a constellation opposite in the sky.
Is Cancer visible all year?
No. For the Sun to be "in" one of the constellations means that the constellation is BEHIND the Sun, and so invisible. Any constellation is, on average, visible for 9 months of the year, with the 3 months of non-visibility being centered on that constellation.
Is Gemini visible all year?

When the sun rises it is located in the constellation Gemini When the sun sets later that same day it will be?
in the constellation Taurus.
What is special about the constelation of Leo?
The Sun does not belong to any constellation. This is because our Earth goes around the Sun. As a result, the Sun moves in the sky relative to the other stars. So, the Sun appears to move through the constellations of the zodiac, which is why you hear that the Sun is in a particular zodiac constellation in a particular month. For example, in September, the Sun is in the constellation of Virgo. In October, it will go to the constellation of Libra, and so on.
