sliding roof

Opens above you

A sliding roof is a roof panel that opens by sliding backward rather than tilting or lifting, typically on a vehicle.

The term overlaps with sunroof and moonroof, though sliding roof emphasizes the mechanism: The car's sliding roof retracted completely into the body.

Some buildings also feature sliding roofs for ventilation or to expose interiors to open air.
