Kelvin and Rankine start at absolute zero, so negative values are physically impossible.

About the units

Degree Fahrenheit (°F)
Used for everyday temperatures in the US and a few other countries. Proposed by Daniel Fahrenheit in 1724; water freezes at 32 °F and boils at 212 °F.
Kelvin (K)
The SI base unit of temperature, with zero at absolute zero. Named after Lord Kelvin and used in physics and chemistry.
