Aircraft have a transponder on board, a piece of equipment that identifies the aircraft and specific details to radar installations. The pilots enter a four-digit code into the transponder, which might be assigned by air traffic control to identify that particular aircraft or might be a general code showing what type of flight it is.

Regulations do not mandate gliders carry transponders, such as FLARM or ADS-B, and many do not. Cessnas are, unfortunately, much less maneuverable than gliders, which make sharp turns and sudden pull-ups in taking advantage of developing weather conditions to maintain altitudes. Unfortunately, gliders are hard to see.
