Abstract
In our atmosphere, most of the energy resides as internal energy, U, and gravitational energy P, and the proportionality U/P = cV /R = 5/2 is maintained in an air column provided there is hydrostatic equilibrium. In this paper we show that this result is a consequence of the virial theorem.
