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

About the units

Degree Rankine (°R)
An absolute scale using Fahrenheit-sized degrees, zero at absolute zero. Used in some US thermodynamics and engineering work.
Degree Celsius (°C)
The temperature scale used by most countries and in science. Defined by Anders Celsius in 1742; 0 °C is water's freezing point and 100 °C its boiling point at sea level.
