Describing to a 15-year old child the time-averaged position of an electron

[Daan Nauwelaerts]

I would base my answer on the Bohr picture and compare the movement of electrons around the nucleus to the movement of planets around the sun because this is something a 15 year-old is much more familiar with.

So I would describe the time-averaged position of an electron around the nucleus as a circular path with a constant radius.
