Ethernet is a data link layer protocol - layer 2
layer 2
How many bits are there in a data link layer ethernet address?
WWW service is work onApplication layer & Ethernet is datalink layer protocol.
Routers operate at layer 3. LAN switches operate at layer 2. Ethernet hubs operate at layer 1.
Ethernet switch fits on osi physical layer
No, they are not the same. A router can connect several Ethernet networks together. Ethernet is the name of a layer 2 protocol.

datalink
Data link layer refers to things that happen within a single network; that's what a switch does. Only a router (or equivalent device, which I would still consider a "router") is able to connect different networks.The different networks may use the same technology (for example, Ethernet and Ethernet), or different technologies (for example, Ethernet and Wi-Fi); a switch is only able to connect parts of a single network that use the same technology (often this will be Ethernet).
They can support multiple higher-layer protocols, and Ethernet 802.3 frames cannot.
