What is the difference between a moon roof and a sun roof?

I'm not sure there is a diffrence...

2 different names talking about the same thing

A moonroof doesn't open fully and is usually tinted to stop too much sun gettting in!

Sunroofs open fully, or tilt a little to let air in as well as sun!

The term moonroof has also been applied to sunroofs that can only tilt to provide additional ventilation. Those models that allow for complete retraction of the glass, either on tracks or into the automobile body itself, are now generally been accepted as the true sunroof.

Variations have become the norm and often combine the features of the Sun and Moon types into a single device. It is not uncommon to see tinted glass that can retract fully like a traditional sun roof, remain closed like a traditional moon roof, or tilt to allow for airflow.

Hey all you guys are retarted you should check you facts a sunroof is made of metal with no glass but is able to tilt or fully moved back a moonroof is like a sunroof but is made of glass the real term has been lost dew to idiots like you the moonroof moves in any direction the sunroof can

You hit the nail on the head, shambar. You just scored 10 points!

A sunroof usually just pops up and lets sunlight and air in when popped. This is because it's a metal plate, which means that sunlight only comes in when popped up. A moonroof has the little cloth thing to cover the glass that pops up and moves all the way back, and sunlight can come in when the cloth thing is pulled back and it can be closed. Sunroofs also tend to be crank, some are electronic. Almost all moonroofs are electronic, very few old ones are manual.
