The difference is in the operation. Electric Moonroofs slide down inside the vehicle roof when opened, Electric Sunroofs slide back over the top of the roof. Non-electric (manually-operated) roofs are called Pop-Up Sunroofs.

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.
