The majority, yes. It depends what kind of Muslim one is. If you happen to be Sunni-Muslim, then chances are your family looks throughout the moon to know when it is time to start Fasting during Ramadan. If not, then no. The moon though is to be a New Moon. If there is a New Moon in August-November, then you are to start Ramadan on whichever the New Moon is presented on.

Why Muslims have to fast in Ramadan?
Because Allah (s.w.t.) told us to and he said it in the Quran.
How do Muslims worship during Ramadan?
During Ramadan, Muslims pray the 5 prayers and extra. They try to finish reading the full Qur'an as many times as they can. They make dua, pay zakkah, saddaqah, and try to not do anything that will give us sins. The sins in Ramadan are like double and so are the hasnahs or the good deeds.
How do Muslims fast in Ramadan?
By refraining from food, drink, and sexual intercourse from dawn until dusk.
Why does the moon follow us when you are in a car?
It's your eye that makes you think that the moon is following you when you're driving.
What time does Ramadan end?
During Ramadan, Muslims break their fast at sunset. The month itself is based on the lunar calendar, so it ends on a different day each year (a lunar year is 11 days shorter than a solar year).
Is the moon following us?
The moon is stuck in our gravitational pull, it doesn't exactly follow. Just "tags along"
Why the month of Ramadan is observed in this way?
It allows us to become good muslims and it teaches us how to be humble, so we think of all those poor people who are starving which we take things for granted in our digusting lives.

How does the Qur'an guide the Muslims daily life?
It guides us by when we read it it tells us what the prophet Muhammad (s) did and we will try to follow him
Why does moon follow us when you drive?
The moon does not actually follow you unless you are driving West. What happens is that the moon is so far away that it gives the illusion that that it is following you because it remains in one place and does not dissappear behind you.
What does the Sunnah and the Hadith provide to Muslims?
Sunnah is what Holy Prophet SAW did in His life and Hadith is what He did and told us to follow him.
What day is Ramadan on?
The dates of Ramadan are based on the lunar calender which is dependent on the moon so it moves back approximately 9 days every year. The start of Ramadan is when the new moon is sighted for the first time. this year in 2009 it started on the Saturday 22nd of august in Asia and most of Europe - i believe that in America its a day later due to the moon sighting - but am not entirely sure on this. the day before Ramadan starts is called the day of doubt as nobody is sure if it has started or not until they see the sighting of he new moon - it is not allowed to fast on the day of doubt - this is because we need to not be fasting for 'just in case'we are supposed to but to make a good intention to fast - to develop ourselves spiratually and personally during this time. If you are new to Islam - as I am i think it is quite important to make a Ramadan plan - firstly, we shouldn't set too higher targets as we will fail and then feel guilty which is not in the spirit of the month of Ramadan - we are supposed to be improving and developing ourselves not - feeling bad about ourselves that hinders us from the ultimate aim which is to be closer to god and learn self discipline and reflect.
