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

About the units

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