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 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.
