I believe the difference is that in ether oxygen is bonded to 2 hydrocarbon chains, while ketone has 2 hydrocarbon chains to a single carbon and also connected to that carbon is a double bond to oxygen

But if O is bonded to two carbons on the same ring, as if it were replacing a C in a cyclopropane, is it still considered an ether?
