Because it formed in the outer part (further away) area of the solar system.
Also because it is past the asteroid belt between mars and Jupiter, therefor all planets past it is consiterd an outer planet
The charted regions of the Solar System comprise the Sun, four rocky inner planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth & Mars), the asteroid belt and four gas giant outer planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus & Neptune). They are called inner and outer planets because or their orbital position near to or far away form the Sun.
Saturn an outer planet because it is outside of the asteroid belt. If it is outside of the asteroid belt, then it is outside planet. Outer planets are also known as Jovian planets or "gas planets."
