Note that I said "relative to absolute zero". DegC IS
only offset relative to 0degK, whereas degF is scaled
AND offset relative to 0degK.
Round not conceded.
Both are scaled. Both are offset.
At absolute zero the temperature is 0.00 in both
the Kelvin and Rankine scales
Offset:
0 Centigrade = 273 Kelvin or Absolute zero = -273C
0 Fahrenheit = 476 Rankine or Absolute zero = -476F
Scale:
1 degree centigrade is 1/100 of freezing to boiling
1 degree Fahrenheit 1/180 of freezing to boiling
There is nothing special about either scale.
