A billion years ago more of Earth's surface was covered by ocean than today and the continents were smaller and made of bare rock and sediment. There was no life on land and only single-celled organisms existed in the ocean. Some coastal areas had stromatolites, colonies of bacteria that built concretions of limestone.

Why will the tides be different in a billion years?
The tides are primarily influenced by the gravitational pull of the Moon. Over a billion years, the gravitational interactions between the Moon and Earth will change due to various factors such as tidal friction and the Moon's distance from Earth, leading to differences in the tides compared to what we experience today.

How can we see the past?
Look at very distant objects. Although it is not a good idea to look directly at the sun (you can seriously damage your eyes), the light from the sun takes around 8 minutes to get to the earth. So you are looking at the sun as it was 8 minutes ago. Look at the nearest star (Proxima Centauri) and you are looking 4.24 years into the past.Other objects that can be seen relatively easily with the naked eye, are the Andromeda Galaxy (2.25 million years), Triangulum Spiral Galaxy (2.78 million years).Finally, the Hubble Space Telescope has spotted a galaxy which is 13.5 billion years light years away: that is, we see it as it was 13.5 billion years ago, or 9 billion years before the earth was formed!
