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 $mathbb{R}$, we get a disconnected set. But if $n>1$, $mathbb{R}^n$ minus one point remains connected (it is easy to prove this). For the other part, note that $mathbb{S}^n$ minus one point is homeomorphic to $mathbb{R}^n$.

          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 $Bbb S^nsetminus{a}congBbb R^n$ via stereographic projection for any chosen $ainBbb S^n$.

          One nice way is to use the invariant of homology. $H_n(S^n)congBbb Z$ and $H_m(S^n)cong0,,mneq n,0$.



          $Bbb R^n$ can then be done using the one-point compactification.
