The distance moved when going up (or down) “1” is the same on the Centigrade and Kelvin scales
Kelvin starts at absolute 0 (no negative temperatures) whereas Celsius zeroes at the freezing point of water at sea level
Likewise, the Rankine and Fahrenheit scales utilize the same step size, but Rankine starts at absolute zero, and Fahrenheit zeroes about 32° below the freezing point of water (Fahrenheit was nominally supposed to set the temperature of a human at 100°)
