Abstract: Limit symmetry of the sine-Gordon equation and its applications are considered. The similarity reduction leads to limit solutions of the sineGordon equation. Besides, based on the relationship between symmetries and sources of soliton equations, a sine-Gordon equation with new selfconsistent sources is obtained and its solutions are derived.
