To learn more and prepare ourselves better for the blessed month of Ramadan, let's look at how long the fasting durations are during Ramadan.
The month of Ramadan typically advances by 10 days each year on the Gregorian calendar. This is thanks to the Gregorian calendar being a solar calendar while the Islamic Hijri calendar is a lunar calendar.
Due to the change of time periods of each Ramadan, the length of the fasting period can vary substantially across different parts of the world due to the changing times of sunrise and sunset.
On average, the fasting duration during Ramadan is between 11-16 hours a day in most cases. On the other hand, some parts of the world such as Europe can experience fasting durations exceeding 20 hours a day during the summer months.
