Engine won't start up

The lights and radio, etc. will turn on but when I turn the key to start up the engine all I get is a rapid clicking noise. It started up after doing this the first time (earlier today), but now won't start at all. Does anyone have any ideas of what this might be? Thanks, Mac

Your battery is dead or going to die.
Measure charge voltage.
Do you have any high current systems?
Do mort of driving at night?
With the Fan on?
