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

About the units

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.
Kelvin (K)
The SI base unit of temperature, with zero at absolute zero. Named after Lord Kelvin and used in physics and chemistry.
