How do you let the light in when driving around Arlington? Most drivers assume that sunroof and moonroof are interchangeable terms that describe the same thing. In reality, a sunroof and moonroof differ in function and materials!

What is the difference between a sunroof vs. moonroof? Let’s define both terms below:
What is a sunroof? A sunroof is an opaque, metal (sometimes canvas) panel on the roof of your car that can slide back, pop up, or remove itself to let light in on your local Washington D.C. drives.
What is a moonroof? A moonroof is a translucent panel (as opposed to opaque) that’s made of clear or tinted glass. Sometimes, a moonroof can be opened and almost all include an interior piece of fabric or paneling that blocks light from entering through the glass.
What’s the difference between a sunroof vs. moonroof? As noted, the material differs between the moonroof and sunroof. Both function in different ways: a sunroof won’t let light in unless opened, while a moonroof always lets in light. The latter can be shuttered from inside the cabin on Springfield commutes, if needed.
