why are there 7 musical notes labelled A to G?

Is it like the visible spectrum and we just can’t physically hear anything else?
What determines the dividing line between each note?

I know this is more than one question but I just don’t understand the science behind music

The visible spectrum was increased by Newton from five to seven, adding orange and indigo, to fit the notes of a scale.
