Leo is a constellation - there is not a constellation inside Leo.
Leo minor isn't in a constellation, it is a constellation. Leo minor lies between Ursa Major and Leo. It is bordered by Ursa Major, Lynx, Cancer, and Leo.
Leo the Lion is visible in the fall, winter and spring night sky. It's behind the sun in August (or late summer)
The constellation Leo during February is almost opposite to the Sun. On February 18/19, Regulus (αLeo) is rising when the Sun is setting, and vice-versa. That means Leo during February is visible almost all-night long (except if you are placed in southern latitudes beyond the Antarctic circle).
It is in Leo and in the constellation known as the sickle, which makes up Leo's head and mane. It is in Leo and in the constellation known as the sickle, which makes up Leo's head and mane.

Leo is a constellation not a star . Although Leo is the name of a constellation, several of the stars in the constellation share the name. The star "Regulus" is also known as "Cor Leo". All of the brightest stars in Leo are designated "Leo" with a Greek letter prefixing "Leo" to indicate they are in that constellation. The constellation itself is found between Cancer and Virgo. Astronomically, the sun passes into the 30 degree portion of the sky marked by the constellation Leo from about mid August to mid September. Astrological systems assign the specific days a bit differently depending on the year and the particular astrological system. . Because the sun is in Leo in August to September, the best time to see Leo at night is from November to May. Leo is dominant in the night sky at the opposite time of the year from when the sun transits the constellation; that is, from February to March. . The Leonid meteor storm appears as if radiating from the constellation Leo, and is usually seen best in November.

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.
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.

No, but there is a constellation that look similar which is the Leo constellation(a lion).
Leo is a constellation, that is to say, a direction in the sky. Just as in any other constellation, there are lots of galaxies in this constellation.
Leo is the 12th largest constellation in the night sky.
As a result of the earth's yearly orbit, each of the constellations visible at your latitude can be seen for a time in the night sky. Leo is most easily visible in the north during the month of April. Around October, the sun rises in or near the constellation Leo; it is still up there, but obscured by the brightness of the sun.
