I am new on this topology stuff, so came to ask for help, my intuition tells me that I need to use a topological invariant to see when they are homeomorphic but I am not quite sure how to proceed.

A more elementary way than what Chris Custer suggests is this: if we remove a point from $mathbbR$, we get a disconnected set. But if $n>1$, $mathbbR^n$ minus one point remains connected (it is easy to prove this). For the other part, note that $mathbbS^n$ minus one point is homeomorphic to $mathbbR^n$.

Suppose there is such homeomorphism $f:Bbb RtoBbb R^n$, then setting $A:=(-infty,0)cup(0,infty)$ it is enough to check that $Bbb R^nsetminus f(0)$ is connected for $n>1$ but $A$ is disconnected, hence $f^-1$ cannot be continuous, so it is not an homeomorphism.
For the other case you can proceed analogously noticing that $Bbb S^nsetminusacongBbb R^n$ via stereographic projection for any chosen $ainBbb S^n$.

Suppose there is such homeomorphism $f:Bbb RtoBbb R^n$, then setting $A:=(-infty,0)cup(0,infty)$ it is enough to check that $Bbb R^nsetminus f(0)$ is connected for $n>1$ but $A$ is disconnected, hence $f^-1$ cannot be continuous, so it is not an homeomorphism.
