There both one in the same!! They once called them a moonroof in the hippey 70's but its considered the same nonetheless!!! A sunroof and moonroof come in a variety of different sizes and styles depending on application for vehicle. There is 2 basic types; Inbuilt ...which opens & closes to various spots and is harnessed within frame of vehicle. Topslide....
which is typically on smaller cars that functions same but roof slides out on top of car....also called spoiler roof ..Both are great and have tempered glass with built in sunblock plastic panels....some have mirror like outside coatings while others are see thru....Webasto and Inalfa are the 2 best manufacturers in the US.Price range for quality installs are between $995.00 to $1495.00 depending on market area ....Im from Chicago so its alittle more...
Hope this helps you...Good Luck!!

Sunroof Vs Moonroof

The answer?
"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 70s, yet is now used generically to describe glass panel inbuilt electric sunroofs.
Hmmm, so all moonroofs are sunroofs, yet not all sunroofs are moonroofs? We found further clarification -- "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).
True sunroofs, those made just of metal, appear to have gone the way of 8-tracks in automobiles, and these days, most "sunroofs" are really "moonroofs" -- panels of tempered glass, usually tinted, that tilt up to allow a flow of air, or slide back into the roof entirely, giving the car occupants a brief but tantalizing glimpse of life in a convertible.
