I believe they had to be cross breed to handle the Sun. Seems like I read it i
In Tolkien somewhere. Uruk-hai could handle long marches in sun. But you probably need to ask a bigger Tolkein buff.

Rings of power is really the only place I know of they have such a strong reaction to the sun.

Just re-read the Hobbit, and it’s a thing for the goblins and trolls in the book

Sauron darkens the skies before the attack on Minas Tirith. Gandalf mentions it.

There are different types of Orcs. Regular Orcs could not take the sun

ROP is actually nailing it with the Orcs. Think Gollum's reaction to touching elven rope. Same concept with sunlight

^This too, and another reason that The Hobbit movies are poor. Orcs weren't
