Circumpolar stars/constellations always stay above our horizon, if they go below our horizon than they are no longer circumpolar.

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".
What constellations are closest to the constellation Hercules?
Well Hercules is between the constellations Lyra and Bootes.
What is the difference between the celestial equator and the horizon?
The celestial equator ties our planet to constellations. Humans perceive the horizon from the ground, so it appears curved to our naked eye.
How long does it take for earth to transition between the zodiac constellations?
From our perspective, the sun moves through the zodiacal constellations, not Earth. But that takes approximately one year - since their are 12 constellations of the zodiac - one for each month.
What is the difference between an asterisms and a constellation?
The word "asterism" is given to a grouping of stars that is not on the "official" list of 88 constellations maintained by the International Astronomical Union. Also - an asterism is PART of a constellation - like Orion's Belt, The Big Dipper, or a pattern made from the stars of other constellations, like The Summer Triangle, etc.
When circumpolar stars can be seen?
Circumpolar constellations are those that never set below the horizon. The further north (or south) one travels, the more constellations are circumpolar. Where I live, above the 45th parallel, most of the Big Dipper stars are circumpolar, but Arcturus is not, and the constellation of Orion sets below the horizon in the summer. Equatorial constellations are those that pass directly overhead when one is between the tropics of Cancer and Capricorn. I believe these are primarily the 13 constellations of the zodiac.

What is the difference between asterism and constellations?
This is a very good question - the difference between an asterism and constellation is this: a constellation is a pattern of stars that identifies a complete object, animal or character. An asterism is a pattern of stars that is NOT a constellation.

Who invented the modern constellations in the Northern Hemisphere?
Most of the (northern) constellations we use today were invented in ancient times, especially by the ancient Greeks. More recently, a few were added (to fill the entire surface of the sky with constellations), and the limits between constellations were defined exactly.
Is Orion a circumpolar?
No. All circumpolar constellations are found near the celestial poles. Because of their proximity to the poles, they never disappear from view. Sagittarius is on the ecliptic and thus (like all other zodiac constellations) not close enough to the poles to render it circumpolar.

The celestial equator ties our planet to constellations. Humans perceive the horizon from the ground, so it appears curved to our naked eye.
