Why 8085 is called 8-bit processor and why 8086 is called 16-bit?

The 8086/8088 processor is called a 16 bit processor because its basic architecture is 16 bits wide. Its registers and accumulator are 16 bits wide, and the primary data it manipulates without extra work is 16 bits wide.

How wide can the external data bus be?

The external data bus can be as wide as desired, given the necessary compromises between performance, complexity, and cost. The wider the bus, the faster the theoretical aggregate data transfer rate. In the 8085 and 8088, the external data bus is 8 bits wide; in the 8086, it is 16 bits wide; in the 80386, it is 32 bits wide; and in the modern incarnations of 64 bit processors, it is 64 bits wide.
