About 29.5 days.
The moon phase that follows the new moon is the waxing crescent phase. During this phase, a small sliver of the moon is illuminated on the right side, signaling the beginning of the moon's waxing or growing phase as it moves towards a full moon.
Ariel is the moon of a superior planet (Uranus), so it's never between the Earth and the Sun. If we see it at all, we see it as a full moon.
Roughly approximately about 29.531 days, which is 4.2187 weeks.
7 days
The next gibbous moon phase occurs when the moon reaches its waxing gibbous phase, which is after the first quarter moon and before the full moon. Typically, this happens around 7-10 days after the new moon.
It takes about 29.5 days for the moon to go from one new moon phase to the next new moon phase.
The length of each moon phase varies, but on average, each phase lasts about 3.5 days. The complete lunar cycle, from one new moon to the next, is about 29.5 days.
It takes about 7 days for the Moon to transition from a new moon phase to the first quarter moon phase.

The next gibbous moon phase occurs when the moon reaches its waxing gibbous phase, which is after the first quarter moon and before the full moon. Typically, this happens around 7-10 days after the new moon.
The time it takes for a new moon phase to reach the first quarter is approximately one week, or about 7 days. This is part of the lunar cycle, which lasts about 29.5 days from one new moon to the next. During this period, the moon waxes from a new moon to a first quarter, where half of the moon's surface is illuminated as seen from Earth.
The New Moon, First Quarter, Full Moon, and Third Quarter are moments in time, with no duration. The Waxing and Waning Crescents, and the Waxing and Waning Gibbous phases, each last roughly a week.
We consider that the "new moon" is the beginning of the cycle, so the next is "first quarter".
