The claim 'A rainbow that appears at night is called a moonbow' is accurate. According to Wikipedia and other sources, a moonbow is indeed a type of rainbow caused by moonlight rather than sunlight.

These sources consistently describe moonbows as fainter and less colorful than solar rainbows, due to the lower intensity of moonlight compared to sunlight.
