        Kelvin was developed from Celsius. The only difference is that 0° is based on absolute 0 (because it’s logical and constant) rather than the rough freezing point of water (a vague and inconsistent reference point). Every degree change in one unit is exactly the same change in the other.

          Except Kelvin aren’t degrees (e.g. it’s just 273’15K not 273’15°K). But a change of one Kelvin is indeed equivalent to a change of one degree Celsius.

      Same relationship between Rankine and Fahrenheit.

      And 0 Kelvin and 0° Rankine are three same temperature.

          It’s still technically defined based on its relationship to Fahrenheit, just like Kelvin was with Celsius until the 60s.
