how to make a radial array on a sphere in blender

Question

I know how to create a radial array on a flat surface. i need someone with skills and imagination to understand I want the array to sit on a sphere and conform to the curve of the sphere(wrap).

Maybe use instances on a UV sphere instead of Array modifier? — moonboots, Jul 29 '23 at 16:48

One possibility is through instancing on a sphere, where you parent the array object to the sphere:

Either with faces, or with Vertices (aligned to vertex normal)
