Why is a single 70% chance different to Ten 7% chances

Like. I know they are different and that one is less likely. But could someone explain this in a way that I can explain it to my partner? I know it is true but cannot remember anything about why and how to explain my point.

Let’s say you have two coins, and you want to know the chances of getting a “heads” somewhere, if you flip both of them.

Well, that’s Two 50% chances, right? But you know you don’t have a 100% chance of getting a heads – you might just flip tails both times.
