Apollo 13 safely returned to Earth on April 17, 1970.
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.
The Apollo 13 mission lasted from April 11 to April 17, 1970
Apollo 13 got back to Earth by using the Lunar Module as a lifeboat after an oxygen tank explosion in the Service Module. The crew used the Lunar Module's descent engine to adjust their return trajectory, allowing them to slingshot around the moon and back towards Earth for a successful re-entry.
No, all Apollo missions successfully landed back on Earth after completing their missions to the moon.

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.
Apollo 13 did make it back to planet Earth, although it had to maneuver around the moon it still made it back to Earth.
The Apollo is famous for landing the first man on the moon, and returning him back to earth. And the Apollo 13 , bringing back the damaged craft from the moon.

Yes, all three.
How was it used? To bring the crew back to Earth after the explosion...

Apollo 13 was intended to be the seventh crewed mission in the Apollo program to land on the moon but had to be aborted after an oxygen tank exploded on the spacecraft. The main focus of the mission then became safely returning the crew back to Earth.
