The Space Shuttle lands like a plane. When it gets to earth, there is a runway and it will land smoothly on the ground.
When the space shuttle goes through the atmosphere, the space shuttle can then by itself land safely because no fuel will be needed. You can use the atmosphere of the earth to slow the space shuttle down allowing it land safely with the payload. The payload will still be on the space shuttle because it won't be removed, only the equipment will be removed from the space shuttle. The shuttle has to do no work whatsoever when bringing it back to earth because it won't be needing fuel when landing on earth.
The space shuttle is designed to land only on the planet Earth. It delivers various payloads into orbit, it does not land on other planets and is definitely not capable of doing so.
there is no space shuttle that is able to land on the moon.

No. The space shuttle is built for low Earth orbit, not moon landings.

Landing gear.
The space shuttle landed on Earth, so yes.

The Space Shuttle refers to NASA's particular space plane, whereas a space plane encompasses all aircraft which takeoff from Earth's surface into space and then land on return.
the enterprise was not a space shuttle it was justa a prototype launched off the back of a plane to see how good it could glide back to earth.
The STS or Space Shuttle uses a glide recovery system (like an airplane) to return and land on the ground. In the end, it is assisted by a parachute (only to decrease the speed of the shuttle at landing.)When given the command from Houston, it will slam into Earth's atmosphere. This will create enough friction between the Space Shuttle and Earth's atmosphere to heat the Shuttle's belly to 3,000+ F. The Shuttle will then glide to it's landing runway in either California or Florida, and land like an airplane.
