DME (DiMethyl Ether) is rather unpolar because it is symmetrical (+-+), it has a bended or hooked (V-like) structure (about 120o corner) with 'longer, more spread legs' than water (104.5o). It is more polar than di-Ethyl ether however.

Is ligroin polar?
It is nonpolar according to Wikipedia. Look up Petroleum ether.
Why is tert-butyl methyl ether more polar than petroleum ether?
Tert-butyl methyl ether more polar than petroleum ethere cause petroleum ether isn't an ether- it's composed of hydrocarbons, which are nonpolar. The real ether that is in tBME includes oxygen, which is electronegative and creates more polarity in the molecule.
How Do You Make Dimethyl Ether - DME?
methanol dehydration to dimethyl ether (DME). it is simple

Is petroleum ether and hexane both are same?
No, Petroleum ether is a mixture of aliphatic alkanes e.g. pentane, hexane etc but hexanes is pure hexane.
