There are five lunar rovers still on the moon: the two unmanned Lunakhod rovers sent to the moon in 1970 and 1973, and the three manned Apollo lunar rovers sent during the last three missions of the American Apollo program (15, 16, and 17) during 1971 and 1972.
Q: Why couldn't the astronauts park their spaceship on the moon?
A: Because it was full.
Yes, the moon rover remains on the moon's surface. The moon rover's mission is to explore and gather data about the lunar environment, and it does not return to Earth.
Although the Moon has gravity, it is weaker than Earth's. The lunar rover stayed on the Moon's surface due to the gravitational force between the rover and the Moon. It also had specially designed wheels to navigate the lunar terrain.
The lunar rovers used on the moon were included in the lunar module, which carried them to the moon's surface. Once on the moon, the astronauts deployed the rovers to aid in their exploration of the lunar surface.
Three from the Apollo missions and two from the Soviet Unions Moon Walker program, so five total.
The Apollo 15 astronauts rode a lunar rover on the moon in 1971.
