I can't believe you would ask such a simple question. They are as different as night and day!!!

I thought a moonroof was just glass, while a sunroof slid back.

I think the difference is a moonroof is glass and a sunroof is metal but they both silde back?

Sunroof is the generic term used to describe an operable panel in a vehicle roof which can let in light and/or air. Moonroof is a term created by Ford in the 70's, yet is now used generically to describe glass panel inbuilt electric sunroofs.

So basically, a sunroof=metal, moonroof=glass.
