A moveable core is better for heavy voltage. Like your starter needs. A relay has a little level that move like a pair of sisors. Making point A contact Point B, where Point A is the pivoit point. A solenoid is kinda like a button. U push down a button, where the whole core moves to make contact. But a solenoid uses electricity to move it, other then phyical force.
Try this sometime. Disconnect your starter wire from your solenoid, then have someone turn the key to start, it should make a thunk noise. Then just put your head near some relays, and have the person just turn the ket from off to on a couple of times. Should just be a click noise.
