Did he go all the way to Heaven with the earthly body? Is he the only one in Heaven who has one? Did he keep it, along with the clothing, for a souvenir?
If the answer is no, he did not take it there, then what did he do with his body? Did he put it somewhere and then ascend into Heaven without it?

Ah, a trick question!
Jesus never ascended into Heaven, as Heaven doesn't exist, and there is no "soul" or "Spirit" to ascend with.

Earthly body to heaven?
No
1 Cor 15:
45 So also it is written, "The first MAN, Adam, BECAME A LIVING SOUL " The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.
Earthly body to heaven?
38But God gives it a body just as He wished,
40 There are also heavenly bodies and earthly bodies, but the glory of the heavenly is one, and the glory of the earthly is another.
42 So also is the resurrection of the dead It is sown a perishable body, it is raised an imperishable body;
44 it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body.
50 Now I say this, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable.
What happened to the fleshly body?
Jehovah accepted the sacrifice of the life Jesus gave, and was symbolically burnt as in the typical sacrifice offered by the high priest on attonement day.

He won resurrection for us also. He raised from the dead in an everlasting body. So we will also in the 1st resurrection complete. So, obviously Jesus Christ in His resurrected Body ascended to Heaven.
That is Jesus humanity raised up in a new everlasting body, soul and spirit. Jesus Deity is the Son in Elohim, the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

Jesus has a body in heaven and so does God the Father. All others that resurrected shortly after he did also have bodies in heaven.

He floated upward until he was out of sight and then zoomed to Heaven, and arrived amid the shouts and praises of a billion angels, and they all wanted to look at his earthly body and see what it was made of.
He kept it as a conversation piece.

That's the theology: bodily resurrection. I know this isn't a serious question, but if it was, you could consult Elaine Pagels' really excellent book "The Gnostic Gospels" for a breakdown of why the early Church found it expedient to include this feature in the mythology.

Yes, you must understand when Mary and Mary went to visit the place where Jesus body was laid, his whole body was gone. His earthly body had taken on a spiritual change. They even touched him.
1Cr 15:50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.

Do you have evidence that humans have other than earthly bodies? Evidence than any person dead for three days has ever climbed out of their graves? I thought not. Neither does anyone else.

Aren't you a demon who would say that Christ ascended into heaven without a human body? didn't you know that Christ died, 3 days later rose to life and 40 days after Christ's resurrection ascended into heaven with his Human Flesh? what is it so fuken hard for you that Christ ascended to heaven with his body?

just as he appeared to hundreds of people after His Ressurection in His earthly body, at His Ascension his earthly body rose. After that, only God knows
