The command module is the only part to come back to earth, it is now in Washington.
Apollo 13 came back to earth on the 17th of April 1970.
Compared to the Space Shuttle Orbiter, relatively very little of the Apollo spacecraft returned to earth. Typically, just the Command Module came back to earth. With Apollo 13, the Lunar Module came back to earth, as it was used as a lifeboat for the three astronauts, until just before reentry. Typically, the Lunar Module was left to crash into the moon after it was used. The only other Lunar Module that made it back to earth (to burn up in the atmosphere) was the one used on Apollo 9, which was a Low-Earth Orbit mission.
The Gemini program came first. It was a precursor to the Apollo program and its main goal was to develop the techniques needed for the Apollo missions to the moon. The Apollo program followed the Gemini program and its main objective was to land humans on the moon and bring them back safely to Earth.
when and wheere did Apollo land when it came back to eath? when and wheere did Apollo land when it came back to eath?
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 11 landed in the Pacific ocean, and were later picked up by the aircraft carrier The Hornet, they then were sent into quarantine.

The Apollo 8 and Apollo 10 came close to the moon but did not land on it.
