it means that they are either getting scared or angry. or even meaning they want to be left alone.
If your rabbits ears are hot it is either over heated (too hot and trying to cool it's self off by circulating the blood thru the large veins in it's ears) or it has a fever. If it is too hot you can help it cool off by putting a cool cloth on it's ears and a frozen coke bottle in it's cage for it to lie down beside. If it has a fever you should check it over for source of infection or take to vet.

Your rabbit is either over heated or has a fever. If it is over heated you can help it cool off by putting a cool rag on it's ears and a frozen coke bottle (filled with water) in it's cage for it to lie down beside. If it has a fever check for source of infection and take to a vet.
Yes, it's usually normal for rabbits to have warm ears. Rabbits don't sweat: instead, they regulate their body temperature through their ears. When rabbits are hot -- like when the rabbit has been running around and playing -- the hot blood moves to the ears, the heat escapes a bit through the skin, and the rabbit is a little bit cooled down.
However, very hot ears could indicate a fever or heat stroke, so consider the circumstances and look for other signs of illness when you notice your rabbit has hot ears. If the rabbit is too hot (fever, heat stroke, etc.), the ears are not enough to cool the rabbit down: the rabbit needs medical attention from a knowledgeable, experienced rabbit vet.

There are many rabbits with ears sticking up. My Netherland dwarf rabbit, which is the smallest rabbit, has upright ears. Also dutch rabbits and rex rabbits do, to name some. Hope this is of some help :)
If you mean the rabbits Lop Ear, I am not sure where they come from, but I do know why they are called Lop Ear Rabbits. This is because of their ears falling over the sides of them. In my opinion Lop Ear Rabbits are the cutest breed of rabbits.

True
It's not true that rabbits with long ears have a longer lifespan than rabbits with short ears. Ear length has no bearing on a rabbit's lifespan.
it means they're listining to their surroundings.
It depends on its species and size. Tiny rabbits have tiny ears.
