Imagine you’re in the nucleus of a hydrogen atom, watching the 1s electron’s behavior over time. The electron moves around the nucleus very fast in a seemingly random pattern. The time-averaged position is where the electron spends most of its time on average. The s orbital is spherical in shape and centered around the nucleus. For a 1s electron, it means the time-averaged position is closer to the nucleus in this spherical region.
