Is sun roof and moon roof the same thing on a car?

Question

i saw this commercial for a car and instead of saying sun roof they said moon roof.

Answer 1

moon roof and sun roof are pretty much the same thing, except the sun roof could slide open and the moon doesn't

Answer 2

"sunroof" is the term originally used to describe a metal panel that would only allow light or air in when opened. A "moonroof," on the other hand, is a glass panel that can allow light in even when it is closed (provided, of course, you slide back that nifty fabric-covered panel to expose the glass).

Answer 3

Well, a sunroof can be opened, and it lifts up, and goes outside your car.

A moon roof just slides into the roof, making a complete hole in your roof. (Glass is still there though)

They are similar, but not the same thing. =)
