To accurately identify the Moon phase represented by position 7, I would need more context, such as a diagram or a description of the positions. However, if position 7 corresponds to a typical lunar phase diagram, it could represent either the Waxing Gibbous or Waning Crescent phase, depending on the numbering system used. Generally, the phases are arranged in a specific order, so the actual phase would depend on that arrangement.
7 days
Around 25% illuminated, depending on where you were when you saw it.(Your position doesn't affect the size of the illuminated portion, but as time went on during the night, the actual visible portion of the moon was shrinking.)
The moon was a waning crescent on 2/7. At 1200 GMT on that date, it was 35% illuminated, and shrinking.
The moon displays a complete cycle of all its phases every 29.53 days.
(Restating the question as "What phase of the Moon follows 'waning gibbous'?) The phase of the Moon which follows 'Waning Gibbous' is 'Last Quarter'. The Gibbous phases are the periods when the Moon is more than 50% illuminated. Waxing being the period when it is approaching Full, and Waning being the period after Full, but before 'Last Quarter'. See Wikipedia entry for "Lunar Phase"
In the context of lunar phases, the waxing phase includes positions from the new moon (position 0) to the full moon (position 14), which corresponds to the first quarter (position 7) and the waxing gibbous. The waning phase follows, starting from the full moon (position 14) to the next new moon (position 28), including the last quarter (position 21) and the waning crescent.
It takes about 7 days for the Moon to transition from a new moon phase to the first quarter moon phase.

The 7 is in the ten thousands position, so it is worth 70,000.
The waning gibbous phase occurs approximately 7-8 times per month. This phase happens after the full moon as the moon begins to decrease in illumination.
A lunar month is about 29.5 days long. Each moon phase, such as the new moon, first quarter, full moon, and last quarter, lasts for about 7-8 days.
