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.
Apollo 11 stayed on the surface of the moon for 26 hours.
Astronauts can stay on the moon for a few days to a couple of weeks during lunar missions. The longest stay on the moon was by the Apollo 17 mission in 1972, which lasted about 75 hours. With advancements in technology, future missions may allow longer stays on the moon.

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.
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.
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.

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.
Total EVA time (outside LM): 20:14:14 Total time on the surface (inside and outside LM): 2days, 23 hours, 2 mins, 13 sec.
The quarantine the astronauts were subjected to was due to fears (later proved unsubstantiated) that the astronauts would bring unknown pathogens from the Moon and that many people might fall sick from these foreign diseases.
