You can consider an n-sphere as a sum of (n-1)-spheres.. An n-sphere can be constructed by (n-1)-spheres.

n+1 ball as sum of n-balls

And you can turn around that process.

The n-sphere has n+1 coordinates and of you take n of the coordinates and scale them to get the appropriate length of the vector, then you have the n coordinates of a n-1 sphere.
