Which part of the Apollo spacecraft came back?
Compared to the Space Shuttle Orbiter, relatively very little of the Apollo spacecraft returned to earth. Typically, just the Command Module came back to earth. With Apollo 13, the Lunar Module came back to earth, as it was used as a lifeboat for the three astronauts, until just before reentry. Typically, the Lunar Module was left to crash into the moon after it was used. The only other Lunar Module that made it back to earth (to burn up in the atmosphere) was the one used on Apollo 9, which was a Low-Earth Orbit mission.
Did Apollo 13 come back into the atmosphere in at an LEO Low Earth Orbit?
No Apollo 13 came back into the atmosphere in the command module, the reason was that the lunar module, their savior could not face that huge heat at reentry.
Where is the part of Apollo 11 which came back to earth where is it placed now?
The command module is the only part to come back to earth, it is now in Washington.
Which part of the spacecraft came back to earth?
If the question is referring to the Apollo missions, the Command Module (also known as the capsule) was the section that housed the astronauts and returned to Earth.
What happend on Apollo 13?
When Apollo 13 was on it's way to the moon, an oxigen tank in the command module exploded. They aborted their trip to the moon and came back with the lunar module because Apollo 13 deviated from his course for a while, that's why they lost practical all their fuel.

Where was Michael Collins when Armstrong walked on the moon?
While Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin , were busy on the moon , they stayed roughly 24 hours on the moon, Michael Collins waited patiently in the command module for them.He was orbiting the moon.
What was the capsule that brought back the astronauts from the moon?
They came back aboard the command module "Columbia."
What did Apollo 11 do in space?
Apollo 11 was a mission, of the Apollo program. It carried 3 men, Neil Armstrong, Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin, and Michael Collins to/on the moon. Neil and Edwin walked on the moon, while Michael orbited around it, waiting for the upper section of the Lunar Module to blast up with Neil and Edwin with moon rocks up. When it came up, Michael docked the command module with the Lunar. Then, the 2 astronauts floated through and fastened in. Michael then dropped the Lunar Module to crash on the Lunar surface.
Did anyone go with Neil Armstrong up to the moon?
Yes. Edwin Aldrin and Michael Collins both accompanied Armstrong on the 3-day trip from the Earth to the Moon. When it came time to land on the moon, though, only Aldrin and Armstrong descended to the lunar surface and walked around on it. Collins decided to stay in the Apollo Command Module, orbiting the Moon, until the other two finished their business on the Moon and returned to the Command Module. Then they all flew back to Earth together.
When do a solar and lunar eclipse occur?
solar eclipse occur when earth came between sun and moon
What is the story behind Apollo?
It was to be the third manned mission to the moon but they never made it. About half way into their flight, there was an explosion in one of the oxygen tanks in the service module resulting from a faulty coil used in a chryo stir. They lost most of their oxygen and electrical power and it almost killed all 3 astronauts. They looped around the moon and came back to earth using the lunar lander's life support systems since the service module was severely damaged.
