In Paul's epistles, Jesus' ascent to heaven was synonymous with his resurrection. Paul seems to have believed that all of the appearances to Cephas, the twelve, the 500, then James and the apostles were as spiritual as the appearance he experienced.
In Mark's Gospel, originally the ascent of Jesus must have also been synonymous with his resurrection. This Gospel originally ended at verse 16:8, without the appearances of the risen Jesus that we now see in the "Long Ending".
Matthew's Gospel does not actually say whether Jesus ascended into heaven, but if he did it would have been after his only meeting with the disciples, at the mountain in Galilee. This could not have been until quite a few days after the resurrection, given the distance from Jerusalem.
Luke's Gospel gives a graphic account of Jesus ascending bodily into heaven near Bethany, not far from Jerusalem. This seems to have occurred on the evening following the resurrection. Acts of the Apostles, although written by the same author, records that Jesus remained on earth for forty days and was then taken up. Presumably the author received further information between the time of writing the Gospel and writing Acts.
John's Gospel does not actually say whether Jesus ascended into heaven, but if he did it would have been after his final meeting with the disciples, at the Sea of Galilee. This could not have been until quite a few days after the resurrection, given the distance from Jerusalem and the several meetings with the disciples.

According to Christian belief, Jesus ascended to heaven after his resurrection by rising up into the sky in front of his disciples and then disappearing into the clouds. This event is known as the Ascension of Jesus.
Yes
AnswerThe gospels say that Jesus rose from the grave on the third day - Sunday. The passages in which Jesus rose to heaven are called the ascension, and are only found in Luke's Gospel and Acts of the Apostles. Luke says that Jesus was seen by the disciples to ascend bodily to heaven on the evening of the same day as his resurrection from the grave (Luke 24:51) - Sunday.Acts of the Apostles, written by the same author but some time later, says that Jesus remained on earth for forty days after his resurrection from the grave and was then seen by the disciples to ascend bodily to heaven. Acts is not sufficiently specific about exactly how many days the risen Jesus was on earth to say which day this was.
After his resurrection, Jesus left his disciples to ascend to heaven and fulfill his mission to be with God. He promised to send the Holy Spirit to guide and empower them in spreading his teachings to others.

Jesus ascended to Heaven once only His ascension to heaven on the evening of his resurrection is described in Luke 22:51. Acts of the Apostles, by the same author but written some time later, also describes the ascension of Jesus to heaven, saying it occurred 40 days after the resurrection.
