A rhetorical question is one that does not expect an answer. It is used as a form of persuasive speech.
One example is: "How much longer do we have to suffer this government?" Obviously the questioner is not happy with the government and wants you to believe the same: he is interested in taking you through his own thought process, but not interested in a factual answer.
