In the Apollo 11 mission the astronauts spent 21 hours and 36 minutes on the surface of the moon and had a moonwalk lasting 2 hours and 31 minutes.
Apollo 11 stayed on the surface of the moon for 26 hours.
In the Apollo 11 mission the astronauts spent 21 hours and 36 minutes on the surface of the moon and had a moonwalk lasting 2 hours and 31 minutes.
During the Apollo missions, astronauts typically stayed on the moon for about 1 to 3 days. The longest stay was by the crew of Apollo 17, who spent a total of about 75 hours on the moon's surface. No one has been to the moon since the Apollo missions ended in 1972.
No, the Apollo 11 mission did not stay on the moon permanently. The astronauts Neil Armstrong and Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin spent around 21 hours on the lunar surface before returning to the command module where Michael Collins was waiting in orbit around the moon.

Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin stayed on the moon for about six hours.
Apollo 12 was on the moon for about 31.5 hours, with astronauts Charles Conrad and Alan Bean conducting two moonwalks totaling 7 hours and 45 minutes. They landed on the moon on November 19, 1969, and lifted off to return to Earth on November 20.
Apollo 11 stayed on the moon's surface due to the moon's gravitational force, which is about 1/6th that of Earth's. The Lunar Module's landing gear allowed it to safely touch down, and the astronauts' mass combined with the moon's gravity kept them anchored to the surface.
Apollo 11 stayed on the moon's surface for about 21.5 hours. Astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin spent approximately 2.5 hours outside the spacecraft, conducting experiments and collecting samples before returning to the lunar module.
Michael Collins stayed in orbit aboard the Apollo 11 CSM, call sign Columbia, while Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin were on the moon's surface.
Footprints are on the moon because astronauts from the Apollo missions walked on its surface. The moon's lack of atmosphere and wind means that footprints can last for a long time without being erased.
The 12 people who have walked on the moon during the Apollo missions stayed for varying amounts of time. The longest single stay was about 3 days during the Apollo 17 mission in December 1972, while the shortest stay was less than a day during the Apollo 11 mission in July 1969.
