If "dwarf planets" are not considered planets, why they have the word planet in its name?
Why not give it a unique name, like it's done with asteroids, comets, meteors, meteorites, etc.?

Also, the word is just a social construct, correct? There's nothing physical to ALL dwarf planets that completely differentiate them to ALL planets.

How do we know what Eris is like if our only 'photograph' of it is just a bunch of pixels?

Break up all the dwarf planets in an orbital zone and you’d get asteroids. Irregular objects without enough gravity to become spherical, but can orbit together without any one dominant body. Put all the dwarf planets together and you’d get a planet. One object with the gravity to become spherical that is the primary mass of its orbit without any other objects to match its’ size. But dwarf planets are in the mid range of these two states. They’re big enough to be spherical but they are not so big that they dominate the mass of their orbital zone.

something about clearing up their orbit or something about gravitational dominance along their orbital region or something something. It's out there online, you can find the difference in the definitions.
