sunroof ... non motorized, you have to manually open it up and it doesn't completely slide back, it just cracks open. (just like the back windows on a minivan)
moonroof ... motorized, slides completely open. there are 2 styles, 1 where the glass retracts into the roof of the car. 1 where the glass slides open and hangs over the roof of the car.
sunroofs kinda look ghetto. you get the extra light, but it really doesn't do much .. it just pops open
moonroofs are ... the glass completey slides open and it's just like having a window on the top of your car.

after reading a gazillion brochures, glass sunroof = moon roof. doesnt matter if it tilts, slides in or out.

a sun roof has no glass, you can't seen thru it, and slides open. no, it doesn't matter how it slides open, where it slides to, etc... as long as it slides open, its a sunroof.
a moon roof is glass, and doesn't necessarily open in any way.
isn't it obvious? i mean a sun roof means you get direct sunlight. a moon roof (which was introduced after the sun roof) allows you to see the sky, without having to expose yourself to the weather. so you can take it as being able to see the sky at night from your car, but the name "moon" was probably also selected to contrast "sun."
sun/moon roofs that tilt open are called.... TILT sun roofs. or tilt moon roofs, whatever.
