LAN stands for Local Area Network. It describes the kind of network you have. It is a data communications network limited to around a 1-km radius.
Because the network is known to cover only a small area, optimisations can be made in the network signal protocols that permit data rates up to 100Mb/s.
Ethernet, on the other hand, refers to the cabling system of the network. It is a way to interconnect computers to form a network. From "Ethernet: The Definitive Guide" by Charles Spurgeon,
Quote:
Metcalfe's first experimental network was called the Alto Aloha Network. In 1973 Metcalfe changed the name to "Ethernet," to make it clear that the system could support any computer-not just Altos-and to point out that his new network mechanisms had evolved well beyond the Aloha system. He chose to base the name on the word "ether" as a way of describing an essential feature of the system: the physical medium (i.e., a cable) carries bits to all stations, much the same way that the old "luminiferous ether" was once thought to propagate electromagnetic waves through space. Thus, Ethernet was born."
--from "Invention of Ethernet", "Ethernet: The Definitive Guide" by Charles Spurgeon
Ethernet can also mean the physical hardware (the cables). There are many of these: 10Base-T, 10Base-2, 10Base-5, 10Base-F, and the like. There are also faster ones, namely 100BaseT (Fast Ethernet) and 1000BaseT (Gigabit Ethernet).
You can find more info at Charles's Spurgeon's Ethernet (IEEE 802.3) website.
Ethernet
This can vary depending on your type of service, but generally your modem (usually supplied by your ISP) would act as the connection between your ISP and your LAN.
Network topology is the physical design of a LAN which resolves the conflict that occurs between computers on the network attempting to transmit at the same time. Whereas protocols are the standards used by networks to permit communication between network-connected devices. -s74

Ethernet is a set of protocols to establish a LAN.
There is no difference; Ethernet is Ethernet, regardless of where it is deployed.
An onboard LAN is a built-in ethernet adapter on mother board, if you have an onboard LAN, then, there is no need to install another ethernet card for your purpose.

There is no difference between LAN and Ethernet cables. These cables are used to relay internet service to electronic devices equipped to utilize the internet service.

Sort of the same as the difference between a printing press, and the truck that delivers papers to homes. Ethernet is a good way to connect computers together in a local area network, or LAN, so they can communicate with each other or each connect to a separate computer or router. Internet is a good way to connect people to usable information.
Ethernet is the Technology which is Best Situated to LAN , Ethernet has all Features which LAN Need Like High Bandwidth cost Of Deployement,and Coverage Where as Serial Technology, is Best Situated for MAN and WAN , they received data in packet and transmit to long distance they have Control Signal Also who Safe data from error and Corrupt In Ethernet data are not check Bit Wise(LAck of Control Signal) In Serial Technology data are check Bit Wise
