The skellies and zombies burn up and die in sunlight The sun has to be up about 20 degrees over the horizon, I think, for them to catch fire. If they're in water or under dark enough shade, they'll survive. Spiders (sometimes, if they're not in attack mode already) become tame during daylight but stick around. When tame, you can literally walk right up to them and they'll ignore you. Creepers stick around too, but creepers gonna creep. Fortunately, if you wander away for a bit, hostiles will despawn on their own without you having to kill them.
Also, no new baddies spawn in daylight. So, the numbers should constantly dwindle with the sun up.
