Apollo 11 left the Moon with little fuel left by efficiently using its remaining fuel reserves for the ascent stage of the lunar module. The mission had been meticulously planned with strict fuel management, and the crew executed precise maneuvers to lift off and rendezvous with the command module in lunar orbit, ensuring a safe return to Earth.
An Apollo landing involved a capsule re-entering Earth's atmosphere for a water landing, using parachutes to slow its descent. In contrast, a space shuttle landing was a controlled glide to a runway on land, using wings to navigate and land like an airplane. The space shuttle also had the ability to be reused multiple times.
There were a total of 19 Apollo missions: Apollo-1A : Unmanned suborbital flight Apollo - 2 : Unmanned orbital flight Apollo - 3 : Unmanned suborbital flight Apollo - 1 : Manned orbital mission, cancelled due to fatal accident. Apollo - 4 : Unmanned orbital flight Apollo - 5 : Unmanned orbital flight Apollo - 6 : Unmanned orbital fligth Apollo - 7 : Manned orbital mission Apollo - 8 : Manned lunar orbit mission Apollo - 9 : Manned orbital mission Apollo -10 : Manned lunar orbit mission Apollo- 11 : Lunar Landing mission Apollo- 12 : Lunar Landing mission Apollo- 13 : Lunar Landing mission, aborted due to accident Apollo- 14 : Lunar Landing mission Apollo- 15 : Lunar Landing mission Apollo- 16 : Lunar Landing mission Apollo- 17 : Lunar Landing mission Apollo -18 : Space rendevous mission with Soviet Soyuz spacecraft (Apollo-Soyuz)

The first three space programs that contributed to the US moon landing were Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo. Mercury laid the groundwork for human spaceflight, Gemini focused on developing techniques for space travel, and Apollo successfully achieved the goal of landing astronauts on the moon.
The Apollo space missions were named after Apollo, the Greek god of the sun, light, music, and prophecy. The name was chosen to reflect the goal of landing humans on the sunlit surface of the moon and returning them safely to Earth.

The Apollo capsule landed by parachute in the ocean. The shuttle lands like an airplane.

No, the Apollo Program was cancelled after the final moon landing (Apollo 17) in December 1972.
Its formal name was Project Apollo, but it is usually called the Apollo Program.

For a start, 6 Apollos landed on the moon. But on the Earth, the main difference is that the shuttle lands on a conventional runway, the Apollo capsule splash landed in the sea.

Neil Armstrong first went into space aboard Gemini 8 in 1966, where he performed the first manned docking of two spacecraft. And also in July 20, 1969 he was the mission commander for the Apollo moon landing.
