  Where does Rankine line up with Celsius?

    Never. Rankine increases faster than Celcius, so the two will never cross

    Rankine starts at zero Celsius starts at -273.15°

    Rankine at room temperature 527.67 Celcius at room temperature 20

    Those lines do not cross

      Huh, so the lines do cross, just at a pysically impossible temperature of -614.5875. Neat!
