Jupiter's rings are made up of small bits of dust. Neptune's rings are made up of small rocks and dust. Uranus's rings are made up of large chunks of rock, kind of like boulders. These planets have darker rings than Saturn because Saturn's rings are younger and haven't had enough time to collect dust. Since Saturn's rings aren't as dusty/rocky as these other planets, it allows for more sunlight to reflect off of them as well. These dustier ringed planets don't have the advantage of sunlight reflection.
Jovian planets are larger than Terrestrial planets because they are further from the sun and have different chemical compositions. The Jovian planets have a more gaseous composition, which gives them a stronger gravitational pull. This gravitational pull brings more objects to their surface and increases their sizes.
What makes Jupiter, Neptune and Uranus have dark rings? Please Explain

are their any scientific probes/drones going to Jovian planets?
