How would that even work? Do time zones exist for everybody but elves? As the party travelled east, did Legolas start perceiving the sun to set later than it did for everybody else?

If I remember correctly, the sun is the light of Valinor, so the sun actually never sets for Legolas (which is useful for seeing at night)

edit: it might be the remaining silmaril being paraded around? either way, should always be visible to elves

I guess that means elves can't go to space :(
