Answer:

7 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

In 7 days the moon will be in its last quarter phase. In the last quarter phase, the half part of the moon is illuminated and the other half is hide in darkness. The illumination of the sides of the moon provide information about the dates of the month. Last quarter phase is also called third phase of the moon. In this phase, the Moon is in quadrature and has the elongation of 270 degree. It is also the indication that the half cycle of the moon is completed and the other half is started.
