    That one is easy. Rankine and Kelvin line up at 0 and technically a bit at 1 as well. sort of.

    More like 0.5555 Kelvin and 1 Rankine, but I’m allowed to round up a bit in this.

        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!
