Ramadan can begin on different dates because countries and communities may follow different moon-sighting methods. Some rely on local sighting. Others accept sightings from another country. Some also use astronomical calculations.
How is the start date decided?
The start of Ramadan is based on the sighting of the new crescent moon after Sha'ban. When the crescent is confirmed, the next day is the first day of fasting. Because the moon cannot always be seen from every location, the date can vary by one day.
Why does Ramadan move earlier every year?
Ramadan follows the Islamic lunar calendar, not the Gregorian calendar. A lunar year is about 10 to 11 days shorter than a solar year. Because of this, Ramadan moves about 10 to 11 days earlier each year on the Gregorian calendar. Over time, Ramadan passes through every season.
