Default Need help with car not starting.

Hello! I'm Steven, this is my first post, i need some help with my car. Just got it and runs beautiful, loving it. It's a 3.8l V6 Camaro. Yesterday I go outside and I try to start it, it just clicks, the lights all stay on strong and everything so that kinda rules out the battery. It makes no cranking noise or anything just a small subtle click. Anyone have any ideas? Please please reply ASAP thanks!

Have someone turn the key to the start position, crawl underneath the car and beat the starter with a hammer, this may dislodge it and it may start.

Could be:

Low Battery, not enough juice to start but enough for accessories.

Bad or Loose ignition wire or battery cable. Might not let enough juice flow.

Starter/Solenoid

The solenoid is what's making the clicking sound. It's either the starter, loose/faulty cables, or as Cosentino said the battery.
