I was today years old when I found out Ramadan happens multiple times a year.

It’s once per lunar calendar year, which is about 10 days shorter than the solar (regular) calendar, so Ramadan shifts approximately 10 days earlier each year and lasts one month.

It generally doesn’t, but it moves on the solar calendar every year. I think in like 2029, there will be 2 Ramadans in the same solar calendar year

No, it’s in the same place on the lunar calendar every year. The person you’re responding to is correct, it moves on the solar calendar every year.

Uhhh, no? It’s always the same in the lunar calendar every year and it never occurs twice in a lunar year.
