Van won't start

My Honda Odyssey makes a rapid clicking sound when I try to start it, and the engine won't turn over. Is it the battery or the starter?

Symptoms indicates a weak battery. Check the terminal connections, clean and retighten and retest. If it fails, check the battery voltage, it should be more than 12.2 volts and note if it is at leat 11 volts when ignition is turned to START. Try a jump start.
