What is the gap between 440 Hz and 880 Hz called?

octave
An octave higher than 440 Hz is 880 Hz. An octave lower than 440 Hz is 220 Hz. A perfect fifth higher than 440 Hz is 660 Hz. A major third higher than 440 Hz is 550 Hz.

Why is 440 a standard tune?

It is, at least in theory, the most often-heard pitch in Western music: an A, above middle C, vibrating at 440 cycles per second. It’s the pitch used to ensure instruments are in tune, with themselves and each other. The oboist plays it to prime orchestra concerts. Pitch pipes and tuning forks are adjusted to it.
