The Space Shuttle is a partially reusable system that goes only into Earth orbit and returns. The Apollo vehicle was not reusable and left Earth orbit to visit the moon.

The Apollo was launched entirely with liquid fuel rockets. The Space Shuttle is launched with a combination of solid and liquid fuel rockets.
