Honors physics covers more topics than AP physics1.AP physics 1 goes more in depth for more topics. However it’s not more difficult than honors physics. It does require some aptitude for science and math but nothing like ap chemistry or AP physics C.
If you feel like trying, I’d say go for it. If you were recommended it means your teacher thinks you’re capable. In addition, if you realize it’s too hard, you can always drop and take choir instead.

Beware that AP physics C is very different : it’s the second level in the physics sequence and hardcore. It’s best to take AP physics c after you’ve taken calculus AB (if your school has an AB-BC sequence) or concurrently with BC (if your school has an AB OR BC policy).
