Systems, apparatus, and methods to adjust dimming associated with vehicle sunroofs are disclosed. A disclosed sunroof dimming system for a vehicle includes a dimmable panel of a vehicle sunroof. The sunroof dimming system also includes a controller operatively coupled to the dimmable panel. The controller is configured to obtain data during operation of the vehicle. The controller is also configured to determine, based on the data, that a vehicle occupant will be exposed to an external light via the dimmable panel when the vehicle is at a first predicted location of a road. The controller is also configured to control the dimmable panel before the vehicle is at the first predicted location to reduce a brightness of the external light that the vehicle occupant will encounter.
