sunroof

[ˈsʌnˌɹuːf]
German
Persian
Russian
Spanish

A sunroof is a part of a car that's like a big window in the ceiling. It lets sunlight and fresh air inside.

You often see sunroofs on cars that are meant to look fancy or have lots of features. They're usually one big piece, but sometimes you'll see smaller ones that open up into multiple pieces. Some people love having sunroofs because they feel more connected to the outside when they're driving – they can see birds flying overhead and feel the breeze on their face. Others prefer to keep them closed so they don't get too much sun or dust inside the car. In some countries, it's very common for new cars to come with sunroofs as a standard feature, so almost everyone gets to enjoy having one eventually!
