How can I tell which day of Ramadan it is?

Question

The imam at my local masjid told me today was the 25th night of Ramadan during the tarawih prayer. Does that mean that when I fast tomorrow it will be the 25th, or does it mean that the day I had just fasted before going to the masjid was the 25th?

I remember hearing that the days start at sunset. But then I also got confused because when I was told that Ramadan started on a certain day on the solar calendar, I wasn't sure if that meant it would start past-sunset for that day or past-sunset of the previous day.

(My timezone is USA in the PST, but this should have no effect on the answer. I'm not literally asking which day it of Ramadan it is, but rather how it relates to the solar calendar.)
