The significant difference between the sunroof and moon roof is in the materials they are made with. Fiber composites or metals are materials that are usually used to make sunroof, which makes the roof an opaque one. The car manufacturers once thought of replacing the sunroof with a moon roof, and that was how the moon roof came to stay. The two roofs are fundamentally the same, just that the sunroof is made of opaque materials, while the moon roof is made of transparent materials such as glass.

A moon roof can be used when you want the sun to set in, but you want to prevent the wind; and even when the moon roof is closed, the sun would still shine through it. The sunroof has to be opened to allow the inlet of sun, and of course, the wind will also set it. So, both sunroof and moon roof allows the sun to set in, but not the wind. The sunroof can allow both the sun and wind to set in at the same time, while the moon roof can allow the sun and not the wind.

Sunroof and moon roof are two types of panel used in a car, they are most times made in various designs, colors and the real deal about them is that, they are made in a such a way that they allow the rays of light inside the car and fresh air can also pass through them. However, there are some notable differences between sunroof and moon roof. Sunroof is different from moon roof because it is made with a solid, colored panel.

Sunroof is made with opaque glass so that people will not be able to see from the outside. Moon roof can be considered to be a type of sunroof. But it is made very different from sun roof. Unlike sunroof which has an opaque glass, moon roof is made with a transparent glass, which means, you can see everything in the car if you are looking from the outside. Moon roof is not removable, but you can still remove sunroof because it is manually fitted.
