Opposite by definition;
" Having a position on the other or further side of something."
Polar opposite, is essentially the opposite of something that is of the further* side. Ergo, all polar opposites are opposites, but not all opposites are polar.
For example:
Word: Famous (Known about by many people)
A polar opposite: Infamous (Well known for some bad quality or deed)
Ordinary opposite Unknown (Not known or familiar)
In summary, a polar opposite, is an opposite of the word within the same 'field' if you will.
