    Kelvin and Celsius are literally the same just offset by 273.15°

        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.

      Theyre also not pointing guns at each other in the picture.

      F and C are laterally the same just offset by 32 and scaled by 5/9.

        Ehh, they were developed in different ways using completely different reference points

          C and K use different reference points too, yet you called them laterally the same.

            They have a lot more in common than Celsius and Fahrenheit, which are only related because they are both measures of temperature.

              That depends how you count “a lot more in common”. The reference points for zero is much closer for C and F. People commonly use in everyday life C and F, but not K. Should I continue?

      Same relationship between Rankine and Fahrenheit.

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

        In that case I assume it would be 0 Rankine without degrees, too? Because it’s an absolute unit like Kelvin.

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