Ramadan is based on the Islamic lunar calendar because the lunar year is about 10-12 days shorter than the Gregorian calendar, which is based on the solar year. This causes Ramadan to shift by about 10-12 days earlier each year in the Gregorian calendar.
A lunar month is based on the time it takes for the moon to pass through all its phases, approximately 29.5 days, while a calendar month is a unit of time used in the Gregorian calendar, ranging from 28 to 31 days. Due to the difference in length, lunar months do not align perfectly with calendar months, resulting in variations in the timing of lunar events such as full moons.
The exact number of full moons fluctuates by year, as the lunar calendar is only roughly twenty nine days long. In 2013, there will be twelve full moons.
A twelve month lunar calendar is based on the cycles of the moon, with each month following a complete lunar cycle of approximately 29.5 days. This type of calendar typically has around 354-355 days in a year. In contrast, a twelve month solar calendar, like the Gregorian calendar, is based on the Earth's orbit around the sun, with each month roughly following the natural seasons. This calendar has 365 days in a common year and 366 days in a leap year.
A lunar calendar is based on the phases of the Moon and consists of 12 months in a year. It is different from the more common solar calendar as it is 11 days shorter. Many traditional cultures and religions use lunar calendars to determine the timing of religious observances and festivals.

"The Islamic calendar, Muslim calendar or Hijri calendar is a lunar calendar consisting of 12 lunar months in a year of 354 or 355 days. Being a purely lunar calendar, it is not synchronized with the seasons. With an annual drift of 10 or 11 days, the seasonal relation repeats about every 33 Islamic years." Source- Wikipedia.
