Apollo 11 started its process back to Earth on July 21, 1969.
Apollo 13 came back to earth on the 17th of April 1970.
Apollo 17 returned to Earth on December 19, 1972. It was the last mission in NASA's Apollo program and the final time humans landed on the Moon.
Apollo 18 was not a launched mission. While the Apollo program was originally slated to run all the way up through Apollo 40 (which was to result in a lunar base), the program was eventually cut back drasticallym with the final mission being Apollo 17.
Apollo spacecraft returned to Earth by splashing down in the Pacific Ocean. The splashdown location was typically within a predefined recovery area where NASA had set up retrieval teams for the returning astronauts and the spacecraft.
Apollo 12 returned to Earth on November 24, 1969, splashing down in the Pacific Ocean. The mission lasted a total of just over 10 days, from launch to splashdown.
They fired their rocket engine.

No. It never reached the moon and it was almost lost when it was trying to come back to earth. The astronauts were lucky to have gotten back to earth alive.

The Apollo 11 command module, known as "Columbia," which returned to Earth, is on display at the National Air and Space Museum in Washington, D.C. It is part of the museum's collection of space exploration artifacts.
No, Apollo 13 did not re-enter the Earth's atmosphere in low Earth orbit (LEO). The spacecraft made a free return trajectory around the Moon, using its gravitational pull to slingshot back towards Earth. Apollo 13 re-entered the atmosphere at a higher speed than LEO re-entries due to its return path from the Moon.
They all go in different driections but all come back to the start
