Because of all the gas giant planets in our solar system, Saturn's rings are much more impressive and larger.
The epithet is a pun reference to the novels of J.R. Tolkien of similar name.

∙ 12y agoSaturn was not the Roman god of Rings. He was the Roman god of the harvest and presided over all agriculture.
Saturn was named thus because it was similar to Jupiter when observed, but obviously smaller (inferior), so it must have seemed that Jupiter as a god was superior to his father Saturn, whom he supplanted.
