Question: Why wont my car start....sometimes?

This has been happening for the past couple of weeks rarely, but recently almost every time. Sometimes when i turn my key it does not start. The radio, lights,ac comes on but the engine doesnt start. After turning it off and on multiple times finally it would start, and it would start no problem. When it doesn't start there are no engine noises, just silence.
