The Islamic calendar month only has 28 days, where as the Georgian calendar month varies between 28 and 31 days (depending on the month).

This means that the Islamic calendar is shorter than the Georgian calendar by approximately 11 days every year. For this reason Islamic religious evens such as the Holy month of Ramadan, migrate forward each year by about 11 days. Christian religious events tend to remain on the same day of the Georgian calendar each year (or within a few days).

How often does the Islamic calendar synchronize with the solar year?

The term "synchronize" is unclear. The Islamic Calendar has a year of only 354 days, so it can never be the same length as a solar year (usually calculated with the Gregorian Calendar with an average of years length of 365.24 days). However, the date on the Islamic Calendar and on the Gregorian Calendar will correlate every 34 Islamic Calendar Years which correspond to 33 Gregorian Calendar Years.
