You need to charge your battery or get a jump. Replace the battery or have it checked because it is dead.
You should be able to get in the Explorer , lock the doors if you wish , and then start the vehicle . That's what I do on my 1995 Explorer XLT
Dead battery and/or alternator.
I had a similar problem turns out the Alternator was bad.
If the lights in the car come on, then at least part of the system is getting power. Check the battery connections again. Then check the starter solenoid and starter to insure that they are getting power and are working properly.
Not to seem smart at all but the first thing I would check would be the battery. If you figure out that it is charged well and it stilldoesn't start then you could try checking the connections on the battery posts or the connections on the starter. Unfortunately i am not much help beyond those steps but good luck.

A no start condition where the starter just clicks.

why wont my 97 acura cl 2.2 vtech always start
Where is the ignition module 97 explorer
if it is cranking but wont start check for spark, fuel, air and compression.
Popping noice on my 97 bravada
start the engine first!!
Sounds like the starter relay is going out.
Will an engine from a 98 explorer fit a 97?
Your alternator is probably not keeping the battery charged while the car is running. You need a new alternator!!
