As with most animals, the whiskers of rabbits extend of the width of their body. This means when they enter a tight space they can tell just by putting their head in whether or not they will fit the rest of the body safely through.
Because, like most animals, God put one on them. Only he knows why.

If only every question could be answered with "Don't ask the question, assume God only knows." Rabbits use their tail as a form of communication - does (females) that are interested in breeding will twitch their tail to let the buck (male) know she is receptive. It is also used to signal danger - both when a predator has been spotted and when fleeing.
I think it's so that when they run away from a predator their white tails 'flash' to warn other Rabbits to run

Because they want to :P
it is because it is in their genes.
Because. :3 They are cuddly and cute.
Rabbits have floppy ears because, a rabbit breeder a long time ago selected a rabbit with "deformed ears" ( lopped ears) and bred it with a staight eared rabbit. And they created lop eared rabbits.
Yes, lop ears affect a rabbit's ears compared to a radar-eared rabbit. Lop-eared rabbits are prone to deafness and hard of hearing due to the muffling of sound waves through their ears. Imagine covering your ears and hearing the world through them. Radar-eared rabbits can easily swivel their ears to capture the most sound without obstruction.
You can't make a dog's ears floppy if they are supposed to be pointed because their ears, like ours, do contain bones that make the shape of them. True, a dog's ears can't change from points to floppy, but you can change the next generation of dog's ears by breeding the pointed-ear dog with a floppy-ear dog.
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 :)

No. There are breeds who have floppy ears.

Well, rabbits have very poor eyesight. So, to help escape from predators, their ears are large. In which, makes them floppy. No, actually, rabbits have very good eyesight- which according to some people, is because of their vitamin-A rich diet. Vitamin A is associated to healthy eyes. Rabbits that have floopy ears are naturally born that way. From Raadee
I see why you think that rabbits with floppy ears hearing would be muffled and it's true However, they can still hear very well :D I hope my information to you was usefull and correct :D Bye =]
No. Floppy eared rabbits are simply bred that way, just like many other species of pets are bred for a certain look, or body characteristic. Pointy eared rabbits with their ears down are usually simply feeling a bit scared or uncertain.
The head is shaped like half an oval. It has large straight ears or if it's a lop, floppy ears. The eye is about the same size as the nose. The Nose is triangular and it keeps moving. Rabbits have many whiskers. Lastly, the mouth has 4 main teeth that are yellowish.

Because us humans have bred them that way. Someone got a rabbit with floppy ears, thought it was cute, and decided to breed from it. In the wild, floppy ears is no good. Reduces hearing sensitivity and increases the risk for ear infections, for both rabbits as well as floppy eared dogs. But as pets, it doesn't matter. They survive well enough anyhow.
