Galaxies. They are just about the same now as they were then. 14 Billion years ago, astronomers believe that the "Big Bang" created matter from energy, which is how they believe galaxies were formed.
It is a true statement that galaxies existed billions of years ago. It is estimated that planet Earth is approximately 4.54 billion years old.
Hot clouds of dust and reactive gases
The galaxies beyond our own are millions to billions of light years away, meaning the light takes millions to billions of years to get here.
Galaxies (other than our own) are very far away, and it takes light a long time to reach us from those galaxies. In some cases it takes billions of years, in which case what we are actually seeing is the way that galaxy looked billions of years ago, rather than what it looks like in the present time.
It is quite possible. Billions of years ago, the Sun was a lot cooler. Life may well have existed on Venus because of this. However, because of changes in the atmosphere - a severe global warming, any life that did exist, perished. For low values of "billions," the answer is definitely yes, as there are fossils from life on Earth from two billion years ago.
The first piece of ice formed somewhere in space billions of years ago, long before earth existed.
The vast distances involved means that the light we see left those galaxies a long time ago.

It is believed to have occurred 13.7 billion years ago.
No, the earth is only about 4 billions years old, which is 4,000,000,000. The universe is thought to be about 14 billion years old, which means it would not have existed either.
about 4.5 billions years ago.
I think Pangaea was the name of the 'supercontinent' that existed billions of years ago that eventually split up to form the continents that exist today.
