[Python] i need to make a loop from this to calculate albedos for a wide range on planetary...

Instructions: Define a Python function that implements the above albedo formula. Your function should take the temperature as input and return the correct albedo. Use your function to calculate albedos for a wide range on planetary temperature (e.g. from K to K.) Present your results (albedo) as a function of global mean temperature, or in a nicely labeled graph with temperature along the x axis and albedo on the y axis.

This is what I have so far, just defined the function:

def calculate_albedo(T):
alpha_o=0.289
alpha_i=0.7
T_o=293
T_i=260

if T>=T_o:
alpha = alpha_o
elif T<=T_i:
alpha = alpha_i
else:
alpha = alpha_o + (alpha_i - alpha_o)*(T - T_o)**2 / (T_i - T_o)**2

return alpha
